Question

Suppose that in 7

 minutes, 42

 gallons of water came out of a pipe.

What was the rate in gallons per minute?

Answer 1

The rate in gallons per minute would be equivalent to the rate of 42 gallons/ 7 minutes, only the denominator would be 1 minute.

Therefore, 42 gallons/7 minutes = 6 gallons/ 1 minute.

(Divide 42 by 7 and 7 by 7 to determine this unit rate).
