Answer:

M/140 = 50/60

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the total is 200 it will be the denominator but we already have 60 gallons so we do 200-60=140

the ratio is 50 per 60

The equation that represents the number of minutes (m) that it will take to fill the pool is 50m = 140

  • Number of gallons of water in the pool = 60 gallons
  • Number of gallons that the pool can hold = 200 gallons

The equation that represents the number of minutes (m) that it will take to fill the pool will be:

50 × m = (200 - 60)

50m = 140

m = 140/50

m = 2.8minutes
