At 9:30a.m, Sean started filling a swimming pool. At 11:30a.m, he had filled 1,800gallons. At what time will the pool be full?
How many gallons can the pool hold
Maya, the pool can hold 4,500 gallons.
Shut up aliyah
To find out at what time the pool will be full, we need to determine how long it takes to fill the entire pool.
We know that Sean started filling the pool at 9:30a.m and by 11:30a.m he had already filled 1,800 gallons. This means that it took him 2 hours (from 9:30a.m to 11:30a.m) to fill 1,800 gallons.
Now, let's find the rate at which Sean fills the pool. We can do this by dividing the number of gallons filled by the time it took.
Rate = Number of gallons / Time
Rate = 1,800 gallons / 2 hours
Rate = 900 gallons/hour
Since we know the rate at which Sean fills the pool, we can now find out how long it will take to fill the entire pool.
Let's assume that the pool requires P gallons to be considered full.
Time = P gallons / Rate
We don't know the exact size of the pool in gallons, but we can use the information we have to calculate the time it takes to fill the entire pool.
Let's set up an equation using the rate and the amount filled by 11:30a.m.
1,800 gallons / 900 gallons/hour = Time
Time = 2 hours
So, it will take Sean a total of 2 hours to fill the entire pool starting from 9:30a.m.
If we add 2 hours to the starting time of 9:30a.m, we can find out when the pool will be full.
9:30a.m + 2 hours = 11:30a.m + 2 hours = 1:30p.m
Therefore, the pool will be full at 1:30p.m.
