Answer:
5 gallons per minute
Step-by-step explanation:
A bathtub fills at a constant rate.
The amount of water in the tub increases by \(\dfrac{1}{2}\) gallon every \(\dfrac{1}{10}\) minute.
Unit rate: The amount of gallons fill bathtub in unit minute.
We are given rate is constant.
Therefore,
\(\text{Unit rate} = \dfrac{\text{number of gallons}}{\text{Number of minute}}\)
\(\text{Unit rate} = \dfrac{\frac{1}{2}}{\frac{1}{10}}\)
\(\text{Unit rate} = 5\text{ gallons per minute}\)
Hence, The unit rate is 5 gallons per minute.
