Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

81 gallons per 9 minutes

This can be thought of as a fraction:

$\frac{81gallons}{9 minutes}$

divide the top and bottom of the fraction by 9 to make the bottom 1

$\frac{9 gallons}{1 minute}$

remove the gallons per minute to a separate fraction

9 $\frac{gallons}{minute}$
