Answer:
1.73 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
This can be solved with proportions.
[tex]\frac{2.58 gallons}{1 minute} = \frac{268 gallons}{x minutes} \\[/tex]
Cross multiply and you get:
[tex]2.58x gallons * minutes = 268 gallons * minutes\\[/tex]
Divide by 2.58 gallons and you get:
[tex]x minutes = \frac{268 gallons}{2.58 gallons} * minutes \\x minutes = 103.876 minutes\\x = 103.876 minutes\\[/tex]
And to find out the number of hours that is, divide by 60 and you get 1.73 hours.
