Question

A catfish pond contains 510 gallons of water. The pond can hold no more than 1700 gallons. It is being filled at a rate of 68 gallons per hour. 1) Write an inequality that will represent how many hours, h, it will take to fill the pond. 2)How many whole hours will it take to fill but not overfill the pond?

Answer 1

Inequality: 510+68h ≤ 1700

I did the math and it says it will take 17.5 hours to fill up the pond.
