Question

A 24000 gallon of pool is being filled at the rate of 40 gallons per minute at this rate how many minutes will it take to fill up this pool A.450 B.560 C.600 D.150

Answer 1

Option no C 600 minutes

Explanation:

Given:

gallons of pool = 24000 gallon

Rate at which it is filled = 40 gallons per minute

To find :

Time taken to fill the pool=?

Solution:

We know that rate is the time in which a thing is being done at per minute or per hour or per second. In our question it is given that the rate is 40 gallons per minute which means that 40 gallons are filled in one minute

Now

In one minute = 40 gallons filled

Total pool size = 24000 gallons

Total time taken =
`(Total pool size)/(gallon filled in one minute)`

Putting in the values

Total time taken =
`(24000)/(40)`

Total time taken = 600 minutes

So the answer is option c which is 600 minutes
