Question

Bob is filling his 7000-gallon swimming

pool. His hose fills at a rate of 22.2
gallons per minute. To the nearest
minute, how long will it take to fill his pool

Answer 1

315 minutes

Explanation:

To solve this, we must divide the gallons of the swimming pool by the rate of gallons per minute.

7,000 gallons divided by 22.2 minutes equals 315.3 minutes.

We can round this to 315.

315 minutes is how long it will take to fill the pool.
