Question

A swimming pool is being filled. If the depth of the water increases at the rate of 13.5 inches of water per hour. After 6 hours how many feet of water have been added to the pool?

Answer 1

Given data:

The depth of water increases per hour is d= 13.5 in/hour.

The given time is t= 6 hours.

The amount of water added is,

$\begin{gathered} W=d\times t \\ =(13.5)(6)\text{ }in \\ =81\text{ in} \\ =81\text{ in(}\frac{1\text{ ft}}{12\text{ in}}) \\ =6.75\text{ ft} \end{gathered}$

Thus, 6.75 feet of water added in 6 hours.
