Question 924523: Kevin Stone is a wild-land fire fighter on an engine company. He is responsible for driving and maintaining a water carrier and is assigned to the left flank of a fully involved fire. His engine contains 1 tank of 750 gallons of water and his fire hose allows him to spray 265.3 liters of water per minute. How much time (in minutes and seconds) does he have until he runs out of water? (One gallon is 3.79 liters.)

r = v/t
750 gal * 3.79 liter/gal = 2842.5 liter
---
265.3 = 2842.5/t
t = 2842.5/265.3
t = 10.71 minutes
t = 10 minutes 0.71*60 seconds
---
answer:
t = 10 minutes 43 seconds
