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

The tables are below.

Explanation:

The question is incomplete, the complete question is:

A table of equivalent ratios show the same ratio using different numerators and denominators.

How do yo build a table of equivalent ratios?

Start with your known ratio: this is 36 gallons / 3 minutes

1. Start the table:

Gallons supply

     Gallons  | 36 |

     Minutes |   3 |

2. Multiply or divide both numerator and denominator by a common integer number.

If you are going to divide, the divisor has to be a common factor of both numerator and denominator. The least common of 36 and 3 is 3.

Thus, divide by 3:

Thus, you can write the first equivalent ratio in your table:

     Gallons  | 36 | 12 |

     Minutes |   3 |   1  |

Since the denominator of the second value of the table is 1, that is the number of gallons per minute.

The: 12 gallons per minute.

3. To find the number of minutes per gallon, you must find and equivalent ratio whose denominator is 1 gallon

Thus, swift the rows:

     Minutes |   3 |

     Gallons  | 36 |

Divide both by 36:

     Minutes |   3 |   1/12 |

     Gallons  | 36 |   1     |

Thus, the equivalent ratio 1/12 to 1 means that 1/12 minutes per gallon, or about 0.083 minutes per gallon (1/12 = 0.08333 . . .)
