Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
First tank is filling at a rate of \(\frac{3}{4}\) gallon per \(\frac{2}{3}\) minute i.e. per 40 sec
In 1 sec it fills \(\frac{3}{4\times 40}=\frac{3}{160} gallon\)
For second tank
Filling at a rate of \(\frac{5}{8} per \frac{1}{2} minutes\)
i.e. per 30 sec
in 1 sec it fills \(\frac{5}{8\times 30}=\frac{5}{240}\)
\(\frac{5}{240}>{3}{160}\)
thus second tank is filling at a faster rate.
