A chef turned on a faucet and filled a 2-gallon pot in 5 6 of a minute. What is the rate of water flow? Simplify your answer and write it as a proper fraction, mixed number, or whole number.

Rate of water flow is 12/5 gallon per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Volume of faucet pot = 2 gallon

Time taken to fill the faucet pot = 5/6 of a minute = (5/6) minute.

Rate of water flow:

Volume of faucet pot / time taken

= 2 gallon ÷ (5/6) minute

= 2 gallon × (6/5) minutes

= (12 /5) gallon / minute

= 2 2/5 gallon / minute

Hence rate of water flow is 12/5 gallon per minute.

the monthly balance will be $75,000
