Question

A pool has 1,000 gallons of water in it, and a hose is filling the pool with 10 gallons per minute.

a) Write an equation for the total volume of water V in the pool after x minutes.

b) How many hours will it take to fill the pool to 10,000 gallons?

Answer 1

It takes 10 minutes to fill up the pool.

Answer 2

Answer:It does not take hours to fill up the pool but just 10 minutes!

Step-by-step explanation:First you have to divide 1,000 by 10 because the hose is filling up the pool 10 gallons in 1 minute,when you divide 1,000 by 10 you get 100.There are 60 minutes in a hour but the hose is filling up the pool 10 gallons at a time and if you multiply 10 times 10 you get 100,which gives you the answer 10 minutes!
