A fire engine travels 6 miles to a fire at a speed of 32mph. Its tank holds 500 gallons of water, but is leaking at a rate of 20 gallons per hour.

The fire engine will require 496 gallons of water to put out the fire. Will it succeed?

Please show all workings. Thanx

The logic should go like:

It will take 6/32ths of an hour to get there
It will lose 6/32ths of 20 gallons in this time
This is 3.75 gallons, leaving 496.5 gallons to put the fire out.
This is enough water.

Actually, its 496.25 gallons but it is still enough water.
