Respuesta :

we know that
124 7/8 gallons of water drained from a pool in 25 minutes
124 7/8 gallons------> (124*8+7)/8-----> 999/8 gallons----> 124.875 gallons

by proportion
124.875 gallons/25 minutes=x gallons/1 minute
x=124.875/25-----> x=4.995 gallons/minute
round to the nearest gallon------> 5 gallons/minute

the answer is
5 gallons/minute

Answer:

[tex]4\frac{111}{200}\text{ gallon}[/tex] water was drained from the pool each minute.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

[tex]124\frac{7}{8}[/tex] gallons of water drained from a pool in 25 minutes.

So, the drained water in 25 minutes = [tex]124\frac{7}{8}\text{ gallon}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{999}{8}\text{ gallon}[/tex]

Drained water in 1 minutes = [tex]\frac{999}{25\times 8}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{999}{200}[/tex]

[tex]=4\frac{111}{200}\text{ gallon}[/tex]

Hence, [tex]4\frac{111}{200}\text{ gallon}[/tex] water was drained from the pool each minute.
