Answer:

Hello, the pool will be full at 12:30 PM. 1200 gallons is half of the capacity of the pool (2400), and the pool was half full at 10:30 AM after being run since 8:30 AM - two hours. This means that the pool will only need two more hours to fill up, and it will be full at 12:30 in the afternoon.

Have a great day! - Mani :)

Answer:

12:30 PM

Explanation:

In 2 hours (8:30 AM and 10:30 AM) she filled half of the full pond.

So to fill the other half we double how long it has taken her to do the first half assuming she doesn't stop. Therefore, the answer will be 12:30 PM

MAKE SURE TO WRITE PM AS IT IS AT MIDDAY
