Question

Katherine recently had a swimming pool installed in her back yard. Using the water hose, she can put 75 gallons of water into the pool every hour.

If the pool can hold 13,500 gallons, how long will it take to fill the pool?

A. 120 hours

B. 180 hours

C. 60 hours

D. 216 hours ​

Answer 1

It would take 180 hours to fill the pool at a rate of 75gallons/h.

Because the problem states that the pool is filled by 75 gallons and hour you would need to divide 13,500 by 75 to find the total amount of hours it would take to fill the pool. 13,500/75=180

Answer 2

the answer would be B! take the 13,500 gallons and divide it by 75. you then get 180. so it takes 180 hours to fill the pool completely.
