Question

Water is being drained at a constant rate from a tank.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1000 gallons - 940 = 60 then divide by the time which gets us 60/10=6

Now we can use this answer to help find out the amount remaining in the tank.

5 minutes = 5x6=30; 1000-30= 970 gallons

20 minutes= 20x6=120; 1000-120= 880 gallons

30 minutes=30x6=180; 1000-180= 820 gallons

27 minutes=27x6=162; 1000-162= 838 gallons

X minutes = 1000-6x

Rate of flow is 6 gallons per minute.

Hope this helps!
