Question

The water level in a plastic pool changed by -8 gallons each hour due to small hole in the bottom. After 6 hours, the pool contained 132 gallons. How much water was in the pool originally?

Answer 1

The answer is 180 because you have to multiply 6x8 to get 48 and get 180

Answer 2

180. We can find this by multiplying 8 by the number of hours, 6, and then adding it to 132.
