Answer 1

it will take 19 hours to fill the pool

Answer 2

Answer: 19 hours

Explanation:

Given: The capacity of the swimming pool is 22,800.

Rate of water flow =300 gallons per hour.

The number of hoses = 4

Then , the amount of water flows by 4 hoses is given by :-

`4*300=1200`

⇒ The increase in the water level in the swimming pool in one hour= 1200 gallon.

Then , the time taken to fill the pool is given by :-

`T=(22800)/(1200)=19\text{ hours}`
