2. A firefighter truck can hold 3000 gallons of water. A firefighter can deliver 160 gallons of water every 2 minutes. How long will it take for the firefighter to empty the tank?

Answer 1

Answer:

1: 800

2: 37 minutes, 30 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

For question one, since every two minutes, 160 gallons of water are delivered, in 10 minutes, we notice it is 2 times 5, so 160*5 is 800.

For question two, since there are 3000 gallons in total, and 160 gallons are delivered every 2 minutes, he can deliver 80 gallons every minute. 3000/80 is 37.5 halfmof a minute is 30 seconds. Thus, 37 minutes and thirty seconds.
