A large container holds 5 gallons of water. it begins leaking at a constant rate. After 10 minutes the container has 3 gallons of water left. at what rate is the water leaking?
First we have to find how much water leaked 5galllons-3 gallons=2 galllos of water leaked Now we know\(\frac{2 galllons}{10 minutes}\) Finally we can simplify it\(\frac{2 gallons}{10 minutes}= \frac{1 gallon}{5 minutes}\) - its the answer
