Two liquid storage containers are being filled. liquid enters the first container at a rate of 2/3 gallon per 1/4 minute. liquid pours into the second storage container at a rate of 3/5 gallon per 1/6 minute. determine which container is being filled faster.

Second container is being filled faster

Solution:

To determine which container is being filled faster, we have to find the unit rate

Unit rate = Number of gallons filled in 1 minute

Liquid enters the first container at a rate of 2/3 gallon per 1/4 minute

To find the number of gallons filled in 1 minute, multiply both the sides of above equation by 4

Thus unit rate of first container is 2.67 gallons per minute

Liquid pours into the second storage container at a rate of 3/5 gallon per 1/6 minute

To find the number of gallons filled in 1 minute, multiply both the sides of above equation by 6

Thus unit rate of second container is 3.6 gallons per minute

On comparing the unit rate of both containers we find,

3.6 > 2.67

second container > first container

Thus second container is being filled faster
