Question

A pool can be filled to 15,000 gallons of water. It takes 9 gallons per minute to fill the pool. How much minutes does it take to fill the pool?

Answer 1

1666.7 minutes

Explanation:

To find out how many minutes it takes to fill the pool, you can use the formula:

Time (minutes) = Total volume / Flow rate

In this case, the total volume of the pool is 15,000 gallons, and the flow rate is 9 gallons per minute.

Time (minutes) = 15,000 gallons / 9 gallons per minute

Time (minutes) = 1,666.67 minutes (rounded to two decimal places)

So, it takes approximately 1,666.67 minutes to fill the pool.
