Question

it takes a garden hose 8 mins to fill a 10 gallon bucket. how long does it take to fill a 7500 gallon pool use ratio table to show ansew

Answer 1

Answer:

6000 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of fill per gallon is 0.8 minutes (10/8). This means to fill a 7500 gallon pool, we multiply the total (7500) by the rate (0.8), giving us 6000 minutes (which would take a while).

Using a ratio table would not be applicable because of formatting errors.

Answer 2

Set it up like this -

10 gal/8 mins = 7500 gal/? mins

Then you can solve using algebra.

10/8 will give you 5/4. Multiply the unknown by this to get an equation -

5/4(?) = 7500 gal

Solve for the "?"

you should get 6,000 minutes.

Hope this helps
