Question

The gallons of water used to take a shower varies directly with the number of minutes in the shower. If a 6 minute shower uses 36 gallons of water, what is the constant of variation?

Answer 1

Answer:

You use 6 gallons of water per minute.

Explanation:

If you use 36 gallons in 6 minutes then you need to divide 6 by 36. 36/6=6. That would mean you use 6 gallons per minute.
