Answer:

.2 Gallons a minute

.2G/1m

25minutes until empty

Step-by-step explanation:

so the container lost 3 gallons in 15 minutes after that you changed it to how many minutes it took to lose 1 gallon by doing 15/3= 5

Now that you know 5/1 you divid 1/5 for an answer of 1/5 or .2 gallons a minute.

now you know that part two is easy

5/.2=25 which is the amount of times .2 gallon has to be removed from five and happens to also be the amount of minutes due to your solve from earlier.
