Two pools were being filled. Pool A was being filled 1/8 of a gallon in 1/12 of a minute, and pool B was being filled at 3/8 of a gallon in 1/9 of a minute. Which pool is being filled up faster?

V=d/t

V1=1/8 × 12/1=12/8=3/2

V2=3/8 × 9/1 =27/8

Common denominator:

3/2=1 1/2 and 27/8= 24 3/8

so second pool because 24 3/8 is greater

I hope my answer is correct. sorry if not
