two water tanks release at the same time water tank a holds 6000 gallons of water and water is released from the fish tank at a rate of 2 gallons per minute water tank behold 8250 gallons of water and water is released at the rate of 3 gallons per minute after how many minutes will the Two Gallants hold the same amount of water

After t minutes, Tank A contains

6000 gal - (2 gal/min) t

while Tank B contains

8250 gal - (3 gal/min) t

The two tanks hold the same amount of water when these quantities are equal. Solve for t :

6000 gal - (2 gal/min) t = 8250 gal - (3 gal/min) t

(1 gal/min) t = 2250 gal

t = (2250 gal) / (1 gal/min) = 2250 min

hi,

you half the rectangle that you ae asking about so then you would see the scale factor of 1/2 the one u have selected, the one on top is half.

hope this !
