Question
The table shows the rate at which water is being pumped into a swimming pool.
Use the unit rate and the amount of water pumped after 12 minutes to find how much water will have been pumped into the pool after 13 1/2 minutes. Complete the explanation of your reasoning.
The unit rate is [blank] gal/min. So 1 1/2 minutes after 12 minutes, an additional [blank] gallons will be pumped in. A total of [blank] gallons will have been pumped into the pool after 13 1/2.
