Question

A water tanker can fill

a 750 gallon pool in 35
minutes. How long will it
take to fill a 1,200 gallon
pool?

Answer 1

56 mins

Explanation:

Number of gallons of water in the pool per minute;

750 divided by 35 = 150/7

Let the time needed to fill a 1,200 gallon pool be t.

t x 150/7 = 1,200

t x 21.42857142857143... = 1,200

t = 1,200/21.42857142857143

t = 56 mins
