Answer:
4.995 gallons ≈ 5 gallons.
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given [tex]124\frac{7}{8}[/tex] gallons of water drained from a pool in 25 minutes.
We will calculate the water drained from the pool each minute.
Therefore, we have to divide [tex]124\frac{7}{8}[/tex] gallons to 25.
[tex]124\frac{7}{8}[/tex] ÷ 25 = [tex]\frac{999}{8\times 25}[/tex] gallons
= [tex]\frac{999}{200}[/tex] gallons
= [tex]4\frac{199}{200}[/tex] gallons or 4.995 gallons rounded to 5 gallons
Therefore, 4.995 gallons water drained from the pool each minute.
