Jake fills a tank that can hold 200 gallons of water. The tank already has 50 gallons of water in it when Jake starts filling it at a rate of 10 gallons per minute. Karla fills a tank that can hold 300 gallons of water. That tank already has 90 gallons of water in it when Karla starts filling it at the rate of 5 gallons per minute. Jake and Karla start filling the tanks at the same time. How long after they start filling the tanks do the tanks have the same volume of water? What is the volume of the water?
