    23 gallons per minute

    Step-by-step explanation:

    According to the question provided above, water is pouring out of a pipe (the pipe might have been exposed or it probably got weak and already needs changing) and in an hour, one thousand three hundred and eighty gallons of water came out of this damaged pipe

    Here we are told to find out the rate at which the water is flowing out of the pipe in gallons per minute.

    If 1380 gallons of water leaked out of the pipe in an hour, then the rate at which it pours out per minute will be:

    Since 60 minutes makes an hour,

    1380/60 = 23

    Therefore, the number of gallons that flows out of the pipe per minute is 23

    23 gallons per minute

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The Volume of Water = 1380 gallons

    Time = 1 hour

    Since we want to determine the rate at which the water is flowing out of the pipe in gallons per minute, we convert our time from hour to minutes.

    1 hour = 60 Minutes

    Rate = Volume : Time

    = 1380 : 60

    =23 gallons per minute

    The water is flowing out of the pipe at a rate of 23 gallons per minute.
