Question

A swimming pool is drained at the end of each summer. Fifteen gallons of water are

removed per minute. How much does the amount of water in the pool change in one
hour? (There are 60 minutes in one hour.)

Answer 1

900 gallons of water are removed from the pool in one hour.

Explanation:

•If your trying to figure out how many gallons of water are removed from the pool in one hour.

•There are 60 minutes in one hour.

•15 gallons of water removed per minute.

• So the equation you will use is 15 X 60

Answer 2

900 gallons.

if every minute, 15 gallons of water are removed from the pool, and there are 60 minutes in an hour, we would multiply 15 by 60, giving the answer of 900 gallons.

so the amount of water in the pool has changed by 900 gallons.
