A holes fills up a hot tub at a rate of 3.73 gallons per minute how many hours will it take to fill up a 335 gallon hot tub

Answer 1

Hi Iyanna,

First determine the time in minutes. Since we know that for every minute 3.73 gallons would be added to the tub, we can divide 335 by 3.73 to find the number of minutes:

335 ÷ 3.73 = 89.812 minutes

Recall that 60 minutes is equal to 1 hour .

Then 89.812 minutes ÷ 60 = 1.497 hours or approximately 1.5 hours to fill the tub
