Answer: 20/21 gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question given, we are informed that Maleah turned on the water in the kitchen and that for every 1 3/4 minute, 1 2/3 gallons of water went into the sink.
The number of gallons of water that filled the sink per minute will then be calculated as:
= Amount of gallons of water that went into sink / Number of minutes used
= 1 2/3 ÷ 1 3/4
= 5/3 ÷ 7/4
= 5/3 × 4/7
= 20/21
Therefore, 20/21 gallons of water filled the sink per minute
