First, you find out how much can be filled in 1 minute. Then you divide that into 120 to get your answer.

To find out how much can be filled in 1 minute, take the time and divide it into the volume. We'll use the second row (2 minutes and 8 gallons.)

8/2=4. So it takes 1 minute to fill 4 gallons. Now, you just divide 4 into 120.

120/4=30

It takes 30 minutes to fill the pool up to 120 gallons.
