Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Set this up as a proportion with gallons on the top and minutes on the bottom.

[tex]\frac{g}{min}:\frac{\frac{4}{5} }{\frac{1}{2} } =\frac{x}{3}[/tex]

and then you will cross multiply to solve for x, which is the number of gallons that will flow after 3 minutes, assuming that the water's flow rate remains constant. Cross multiplying gives you:

[tex]\frac{12}{5}=\frac{x}{2}[/tex] and

5x = 24 so

x = 4.8 gallons
