Suppose that in 6 minutes, 54 gallons of water came out of a pipe. What was the rate in gallons per minute?

9 gallons per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

If there are 54 gallons that came out of a pipe within 6 minutes, then we divide 54 by 6 to get how many would come out in 1 minute.

54/6 = 9.

option 1 is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

y varies inversely with x and constant of variation is 4

the equation will be:

y = k/x

where k =4 so,

y = 4/x

if we put values of x of option 1 in the above equation and find values of y

y = 4/-2 => y =-2

y = 4/-1 => y = -4

y = 4/1 => y = 4

y = 4/2 => y =2

so, all the values of x and y are correct.

if we put values of x given in other options and find value of y we cannot find whole table satisfying the equation.

hence option 1 is correct.
