Respuesta :

[tex]\bf \begin{array}{ccll} gallons&minutes\\ \cline{1-2} 4.39&1\\ 280&x \end{array}\implies \cfrac{4.39}{280}=\cfrac{1}{x}\implies 4.39x=280\implies x=\cfrac{280}{4.39} \\\\\\ x\approx \stackrel{\textit{minutes}}{63.78}~\hspace{7em}63.78 ~~\begin{matrix} min \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix}~~ \cdot \cfrac{hr}{60 ~~\begin{matrix} min \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix}~~ } \implies \boxed{1.063~hr}[/tex]
