Final answer:

The two quantities related to this situation are the volume of water and the time it takes to fill the pool. These quantities can be represented as a function. By evaluating the function, we can determine the time it would take to fill the pool.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this situation, two quantities that are related are the volume of water and the time it takes to fill the pool. These quantities can be seen as a function.

Let's define the function as f(x), where x represents the time in minutes and f(x) represents the volume of water in liters. For the garden hose, it is delivering 60 L/min. So the function can be written as f(x) = 60x.

By substituting the given capacity of the pool (80,000 L) into the function, we can find the time it would take to fill the pool.

Volume of the child's pool.

Time taken by hose pipe to fill the pool

Step-by-step explanation:

To form a function in the given situation, the two quantities related can be time and the amount to be filled , i.e the time taken by a hose pipe to fill the given volume of the child's pool. Time in the formed function can be represented to be directly proportional to the volume and the speed of the water through hose pipe can tell how long it it takes, i.e how much time will it take to fill the given volume of pool.
