Answer:
20 liters
Step-by-step explanation:
when working with math problems about the rate that something is happening, it is typically helpful to find the unit rate.
In this case, the unit rate will be how many liters are lost in 1 minute (per unit essentially means per "1" )
we know that 1 liter is lost in 1/2 minute
1/2 minute = 1 liter
×2 ×2 {multiply both sides by 2 to find "1 minute"}
1 minute = 2 liters
So, for every 1 minute, we lose 2 liters
if we have 10 minutes, we can multiply both sides by 10:
1 minute = 2 liters
×10 ×10
10 minutes = 20 liters
So, after 10 minutes, 20 liters are lost
hope this helps!!
