Answer:
2.60 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
A hose fills a hot tub at a rate of ,
2.09 gallons ⇒ 1 minute
Now we have to find the time which takes to fill a 327 gallon hot tub.
For that, let the unknown time be x.
So,
2.09 gallons ⇒ 1 minute
327 gallon ⇒ x
Use cross multiplication to find the value of x.
2.09 x = 327 × 1
2.09x = 327
x = 327 ÷ 2.09
x = 156.45 min
Therefore, it takes 156.45 minutes.
But the question is asked for hours.
So,
Let us solve now.
156.45 ÷ 60 = 2.60 hours
Let me know if you have any other questions :-)
Answer:
2 hours and 36 minutes
327 ÷ 2.09 is 156.4
divide that by 60 for the minutes and its 2 hours and 36 minutes
