Answer:
<u>The rate the swimming pool is filled is 9 gallons of water per minute</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's review the information provided by Ronald to us to help him to find the answer to the question:
Time it takes to fill the swimming pool = 8 minutes
Amount of water the swimming pool can hold = 72 gallons
2. At what rate does the swimming pool fill, in gallons per minute?
Rate the swimming pool is filled = Amount of water the swimming pool can hold /Time it takes to fill the swimming pool
Replacing with the real values, we have:
Rate the swimming pool is filled = 72/8 = 9 gallons of water per minute
Answer: 19/50
Step-by-step explanation: To write a percent as a fraction in lowest terms, first remember that a percent is a ratio that compares a number to 100. In this case, 38% can be written as the ratio 38 to 100 or 38/100. Notice however that 38/100 is not in lowest terms so we need to divide the numerator and denominator by the greatest common factor of 38 and 100 which is 2.
38 ÷ 2 = 19
100 ÷ 2 = 50
<em>Therefore, 38% can be written as the fraction 19/50 which is in lowest terms.</em>
