Question

Two pools are being filled with water. To start, the first pool contains 1900 liters of water and the second pool contains 1501 liters of water. Water is being added to the first pool at a rate of 21.25 liters per minute. Water is being added to the second pool at a rate of 35.5 liters per minute.

Answer 1

To find the amount of water in each pool at any given time, we need to use the formula:

Amount of water = Initial amount of water + (rate of inflow × time)

Let's say we want to find the amount of water in each pool after 10 minutes. Using the formula, we get:

Amount of water in first pool = 1900 + (21.25 × 10) = 2125 liters

Amount of water in second pool = 1501 + (35.5 × 10) = 501 liters

Therefore, after 10 minutes, the first pool contains 2125 liters of water and the second pool contains 501 liters of water.
