a water tank already contained 24 gallons of water before a pump was switched to fill it. the pump started at 10:00 am and by 10:30 am the tank contained 40 gallons of water. by 1:00 pm the tank contained 120 gallons of water. assuming the pump is filling the tank at the same rate without interruption, when will the tank contain 200 gallons?

Answer: ✧༺♥༻∞3:30pm∞༺♥༻✧

Step-by-step explanation: ☆○o。200-24=176

176 divided by 16 (16 is how many gallons was added in half an hour)= 11. 11 divided by 2= 5.5 hours. 10:00am + 5.5 hours= 3:30pm. Hope this helped! ♡ 。o○☆
