It will take 13 minutes and 30 seconds for the tanks to have an equal amount of water.

Since Louis is filling two tanks of water in his home, and Tank A currently contains 27 gallons and has a hose filling it at a rate of 3 gallons per minute, while the other tank, Tank B, has 38 gallons and is being filled at a rate of 2 gallons per minute, to determine how many minutes will it take for the tanks to have an equal amount of water, the following calculation must be made:

  • 27/3 = 9
  • 27/2 = 13.5
  • 13.5 = 13 minutes 30 seconds

Therefore, it will take 13 minutes and 30 seconds for the tanks to have an equal amount of water.
