Question

a 12000-gallon pool is being filled at a rate of 40 gallons per minute. at this rate, how many minutes will it take to fill this pool 3/4 full?

Answer 1

First figure out what 3/4 of the pool is. 

12000* 3/4 
=9000 gallons 

If the rate is 40 gallons per minute, 
9000/40 
=225 minutes 

It would take 225 minutes to fill up 3/4 of the pool.

Hope I helped :) 

Answer 2

The number of minutes taken to fill the pool in three-fourths full is 225.

Given that,

• There is a 12,000-gallon pool filled at the rate of 40 gallons per minute.
• And, there is three-fourths full.

Based on the above information, the calculation is as follows:

$= (12000 \times \frac{3}{4}) \div 40$

= 225 minutes

Therefore we can conclude that the number of minutes taken to fill the pool in three-fourths full is 225.
