A garden hose supplies 36 gallons of water in 3 minutes. Use a table of equivalent ratios to show the garden hose's water flow in gallons per minute and minute per gallon.

Answer  ↣ 12 gallons per minute

Step-by-step explanation ↣ Ok so if the garden hose supplies 36 gallons of water in 3 minutes, then the ratio is 36:3 because every 3 minutes the garden hose "sprays" 36 gallons.

To simplify this ratio, you need find the amount of water the garden hose supplies in 1 minute.

Well to get from 3 to 1, you have to divide by 3.

Do the same thing to 36. 36/3 equals 12.

So the final ratio is 12:1

This is the unit rate. The unit rate is when one variable is 1 unit (most of the time it is speed).

You can multiply 1 by any number and multiply 12 by the same number.

Here are some ratios...

m=minutes

g=gallons

1m:12g

2m:24g

3m:36g

4m:48g

5m:60g

Hope this helped!
