Question

Min-jun has a swimming pool that needs to be drained. His pool holds

10,874.5 gallons of water and will need to drain completely in 10.7
hours. What is the change in the water level per hour for Min-jun's
swimming pool? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

The change in the water level per hour for Min-Jun's swimming pool is 1016.31 Gallons per hour.

Explanation:

Since we have a total amount of 10,874.5 gallons and 10.7 hours total to drain the full pool we divide the total amount by the total time, assuming that the pool drains at a constant rate. When we divide 10,874.5 by 10.7 we get 10.16.3084... and rounding it to the nearest hundreth or the second decimal place we get 1,016.31 gallons per hour.

Answer 2

You will need to drain 1016.308 gallons an hour
