Water is running into a bathtub at a constant rate. After 2 minutes, the tub is filled with 2.5 gallons of water. Write two equations for this proportional relationship. Use w for the amount of water (gallons) and t for time (minutes). In each case, what does the constant of proportionality tell you about the situation?
