Yolanda pumped  gallons of water out of her pool. This was done over a period of  minutes at a constant rate. What was the change in the amount of water in the pool each minute

To find the change in the amount of water in the pool per minute, we need to calculate the **rate** at which water was pumped out. The formula for the rate of change is:

\[
\text{Rate} = \frac{\text{Total gallons of water pumped out}}{\text{Total minutes}}
\]

If we knew the specific values for the gallons of water and the minutes, we would substitute them into this formula.

Could you provide the number of gallons Yolanda pumped out and the time in minutes? Then, I can calculate the exact rate for you.

Would you like me to help with any other details or clarifications?

Here are 5 related questions to extend your understanding:
1. How would the rate change if she pumped more water in the same amount of time?
2. What would the rate be if she pumped the same amount of water but over a longer period?
3. If the rate doubled, how long would it take to pump the same amount of water?
4. How could you calculate the total water pumped if you knew the rate and time?
5. What units are appropriate for the rate in this problem?

**Tip**: To solve rate problems, always ensure units are consistent (e.g., gallons per minute).

Yolanda pumped gallons of water out of her pool. This was done over a period of minutes at a constant rate. What was the change in the amount of water in the pool each minute?

Learn how to calculate the rate at which Yolanda pumped water out of her pool. Use the formula 'Rate = Total gallons / Total minutes' to find the change in water level per minute. Perfect for students in Grades 6-8 learning about rates and unit conversions.
