Answer:
In 1 hour water flowed out = [tex]\frac{74}{17}[/tex] gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
Given as ,
The quantity of water flowed out of tank = 18 [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] gallons
= [tex]\frac{37}{2}[/tex] gallons
The time spend in flowing water out of tank = 4 [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] hours
= [tex]\frac{17}{4}[/tex] hours
∵ In [tex]\frac{17}{4}[/tex] hours , water flowed out = [tex]\frac{37}{2}[/tex]
∴ In 1 hours , water flowed out = [tex]\frac{37\times4} {17\times2}[/tex]
So, in 1 hour water flowed out = [tex]\frac{74}{17}[/tex] gallons Answer
Answer:
The tank flowed out [tex]4\frac{6}{17}[/tex] gallons per hour.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that
The tank flowed out [tex]18\frac{1}{2}[/tex] gallons in [tex]4\frac{1}{4}[/tex] hours.
To find the ratio of change, that is, the number of gallons per hour, we just need to divide these quantities as follows
[tex]18\frac{1}{2} \div 4\frac{1}{4}=\frac{37}{2}\div \frac{17}{4}=\frac{37}{2}\times \frac{4}{17}=\frac{148}{34}=\frac{74}{17} =4\frac{6}{17}[/tex]
Therefore,
the tank flowed out [tex]4\frac{6}{17}[/tex] gallons per hour.
