A bathtub drains at a rate of 4 1/5 liters of water in 1/5 of a minute. How many liters of water does the bathtub drain per minute

Respuesta :

Answer:

I think the answer is 252 liters a minute.

Step-by-step explanation:

I got 252 liters a minute because I had to first put 4 1/5 as a fraction and it was 21/5. In ever minute there are 60 seconds. I then multiplied 21/5 times 60 to get me to 252 liters. To double check your work you have to divide 252 by 60. When you divide 252 by 60 you would get 4.2 which reduces to 4 1/5 which makes 252 liters per minute the right answer. Hope this helps.
