Last summer, the abrams family had a 30-gallon baby pool that they could fill in just 2 minutes. This summer, they purchased a larger kiddie pool that holds 150 gallons of water. If the abrams fill the larger pool at the same rate, how long will it take to fill it? minutes.

Respuesta :

Answer:  10 minutes

Explanation:

30 gal / 2 min = 15 gal/min  (this is the fill-rate)

x = # minutes to fill a 150 gal pool at a rate of 15 ga/min

(15 gal/min)(x min) = 150 gal

x min = (150 gal) / (15 gal/min) = 10 min
