When full, one of the tanks at Sea World will hold 148,000 gallons of water. The tank currently has 85,000 gallons of water and is being filled at a rate of 120 gallons per minute. Write and solve an equation that can be used to find the number of hours it will take to fill the tank from its current level.

120 x 60 = 7,200 gallons.

148,000 - 85,000 = 63,000 gallons.

63,000 divided by 7,200 = 8.75  

It will take 8 hours and 45 minutes to fill the tank.

Step-by-step explanation:

120 gallons per minute would equal to 7,200 gallons an hour.

148,000 gallons - 85,000 gallons = 63,000 gallons. 63,000 gallons of water is how much is needed to reach the tanks capacity.

63,000 gallons divided by 7,200 gallons would be 8.75. That means it will take 8 hours and 45 minutes to fill the tank from 85,000 gallons.

I don't know if you need a more simplified equation, but I hope this helps in some way.
