A pool holds 12000 L of water. to empty the pool ,water is pumped out at the rate of 150 L/min. how long does it take to empty the pool?
12000L / (150L/min) = 80 min
Time taken to pump water= 12000/150
= 80 minutes
To find out how long it takes to empty the pool, we need to divide the total volume of the pool by the rate at which the water is being pumped out.
Given:
Total volume of water in the pool = 12000 L
Rate at which water is being pumped out = 150 L/min
To calculate the time required to empty the pool, we use the equation:
Time = Volume / Rate
Substituting the given values:
Time = 12000 L / 150 L/min
Now we can calculate the time:
Time = 80 min
Therefore, it will take 80 minutes to empty the pool.
