pls try to make answer simple, this is all my points

Answer 1

Answer:

w = 1.25t

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there is 2.5 gallons of water after 2 minutes, we can see that the constant rate of water poured is 1.25 gallons per minute.

Proportional Relationship:

(w/t) = (2.5/2)

Simplify:

2w = 2.5t

w = 1.25t
