How dd you get 25 minutes?

anonymous · Answer

I'm confused are you explaining  it to me or giving the answer

anonymous · Answer

I'm explaining it to you. Giving out the answer wouldn't help you. You asked if it was 25. So I'm asking you how did you get that?

anonymous · Answer

Rate=Gallons/time
so Rate=600gallons/20minutes

anonymous · Answer

well if you add 20 until you get 600 you already add it 25 times

anonymous · Answer

you would already add 20 ... 25 times

anonymous · Answer

How's that possible?

anonymous · Answer

If you add 20 several times say 25, I'm sure that would be 500

anonymous · Answer

no if you add 20 up to 600 you would have added 20 ... 25 time
