Given
• Rate: 4.98 gallons per minute.
,• Hours to fill 273 gallons.
Procedure
As the rate is 4.98 gallons per minute, then we can build the following relation in order to know the time it will take:
[tex]273gallons\cdot\frac{1minute}{4.98gallons}=54.82minutes[/tex]Additionally, as we are asked for the hours, we have to convert considering that 1 hour has 60min:
[tex]54.82min\cdot\frac{1hour}{60min}=0.91hours[/tex]
