Answer 1

First, Joe started the water and it was at full force. He filled it up to 9 inches. It took him 2 minutes to get to 9 inches. Then, he stopped it for 2 minutes because his mom called him to get a bar of soap. The water level was still at 9 inches when he stopped it. Then, he put the water to come down slowly because he wasn’t sure how much more he needed. He let the water go for 2 minutes. Then, he stopped the water when it was at 12 inches of water. He sat in the bath for 5 minutes until he decided he was to cold so he hopped out. The water then drained really fast. From 12 inches to 0 inches it took the bath 3 minutes.
