    This is an easy question. All required information's are provided in the question. In the first case it is given that the tank is getting filled at a rate of 3/4 gallon per 2/3 minute. So by getting the speed of filling we can compare this withe the speed at which the second tank is getting filled. The second tank fills at a rate of 5/8 gallon in 1/2 minute.

    If we take the case of the first tank, then,

    Speed of filling the first tank = (3/4) * (3/2)

    = 9/8

    So the first tank is filled at the rate of 9/8 gallons per minute.

    Now if we take the case of the second tank, then,

    Speed of filling the second tank = (5/8) * 2

    = 10/8

    So the second tank fills at the rate of 10/8 gallons per minute.

    Now we can say that the second tank is getting filled at a faster rate.
