Answer 1

15.46 gallons per minutes

Explanation:

Garden hose was running for 1000 minutes

Volume of the pool = 15,460 gallons

What is the approximate rate at which water leaves the garden hose?

Rate at which water leaves the garden hose = Volume of the pool / running time of the hose

= 15,460 gallons / 1000 minutes

= 15.46 gallons per minutes

Rate at which water leaves the garden hose = 15.46 gallons per minutes
