    Answer:

    Step-by-step explanation:

    1000 gallons – 940 = 60 then divide by the time which gets us 60/10=6

    Now we can use this answer to help find out the amount remaining in the tank.

    5 minutes = 5×6=30; 1000-30= 970 gallons

    20 minutes= 20×6=120; 1000-120= 880 gallons

    30 minutes=30×6=180; 1000-180= 820 gallons

    27 minutes=27×6=162; 1000-162= 838 gallons

    X minutes = 1000-6x

    Rate of flow is 6 gallons per minute.

    Hope this helps!
