Question

2 a garden hose supplies 36 gallons of water in 3 minutes. use a table of equivalent ratios to show the garden hose’s water flow in gallons per minute and minutes per gallon. how many gallons of water does the hose supply in 10 minutes? explain.

Explanation:

Step1: Find gallons per minute

First, we find the rate of water flow in gallons per minute. The hose supplies 36 gallons in 3 minutes, so we divide the number of gallons by the number of minutes: $\frac{36}{3} = 12$ gallons per minute.

Step2: Calculate gallons in 10 minutes

Now that we know the rate is 12 gallons per minute, to find the number of gallons in 10 minutes, we multiply the rate by the time: $12\times10 = 120$ gallons.

Answer:

The garden hose supplies 120 gallons of water in 10 minutes.
