Answer:

[tex]2~2/9[/tex] gallons per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

If it drains at a rate of [tex]x[/tex] gallons in [tex]y[/tex] minutes, the tub drains [tex]x/y[/tex] gallons in [tex]1[/tex] minute.

We can plug in for [tex]x[/tex] and [tex]y[/tex] for this equation!

The amount it drains in one minute is [tex]5/(2~1/4)=5/(9/4)=20/9=2~2/9[/tex].

So, the answer is [tex]\boxed{2~2/9}[/tex] gallons per minute.

Answer:

2 2/9
