The hose delivers 5 gallons of water in 24 seconds,
we know that 
1 min=60 seconds
10 min= 600 seconds

5 gallons of water.......................24 seconds
? gallons in ................................600 seconds

let x be the number of gallons of water we need to find out, and we use proportions
x=(5*600)/24=125 gallons
