Question 374795
A camel can drink 15 gallons of water in 10 minutes.
 At this rate, how much water can the camel drink in 15 minutes?
:
You can do this as a ratio equation, 
let x = amt of water in 15 min
:
{{{10/15}}} = {{{15/x}}}
10x = 15 * 15
10x = 225
x = 22.5 gal in 15 min

Check this another way, he drinks 1.5 gal in 1 min, then 1.5 * 15 = 22.5
