8. Water flows out of a hose at a constant rate. After 2 minutes, 97 gallons of water have come
se. At what rate, in gallons per minute, is water flowing out of the hose?

Respuesta :

Answer:

48.5 gal/min

Step-by-step explanation:

I used a ratio to solve this problem.

If 97 gallons flow in 2 minutes, the ratio is 97/2

To find the flow per one minute, the ratio is x/1

You can then cross multiply to get 97=2x

When solved, this gives you 48.5 gal/min.

To check, you can multiply x2.
