Question

The Children's play area at the Community pool holds a total of 3185 gallons of water it takes 2.5 hours to fill the pool with 1625 gallons of water how many gallons of water does the pool have after 1 hour find the unit rate

Answer 1

650 gallons after 1 hour

Unit rate:650gallons/hour

Explanation:

We are given that

Total capacity of pool=3185 gallon

In 2.5 hours water pool fill=1625 gallon

We have to find how many gallons of water fill in the pool after 1 hour and unit rate.

Using unitary method

1625 gallons of water takes time to fill the pool=2.5 hours

1 gallon of water takes time to fill pool=
`(2.5)/(1625)`hours

3185 gallon of water takes time to fill the pool=
`(2.5)/(1625)* 3185` hours

3185 gallon of water takes time to fill the pool=4.9 hours

1 hours , water fill in pool =
`(1625)/(2.5)`gallons

1 hours , water fill in pool=650 gallons

Unit rate: How many volumes of water fill in 1 hour.

Unit rate=
`(1625)/(2.5)=650gallons/hour`
