A garden hose emits 9 quarts of water in 6 seconds at this rate how long will it take to emit 12 quarts and how much water does the hose emit in 10 seconds?

Step-by-step explanation:

a) A garden hose emits 9 quarts of water in 6 seconds. This means that the quarts of water that the garden hose will emit in one second would be 6/9 = 2/3 quarts. Therefore, the number of seconds that it would take for the garden hose to emit 12 quarts would be

12 * 2/3 = 8 seconds

b) the quarts of water that the hose emits in one second is 9/6 = 3/2 quarts. Therefore,

The quarts of water that the hose emits in 10 seconds would be

3/2 * 10 = 15 quarts of water
