Perfect Pools is a pool company that cleans pools. They have two pools to fill before the pools can open. Pool A can hold 30,000 gallons and takes 6 hours to fill. Pool B can hold 38,000 gallons and takes 7 hours to fill. Which pool will fill up at a faster rate? Choose 1 for pool A and 2 for pool B.(1 point)
To determine which pool will fill up at a faster rate, we can compare the rates at which each pool fills up. To find the rate, we divide the number of gallons by the number of hours it takes to fill the pool.
For Pool A, the rate is 30,000 gallons / 6 hours = 5,000 gallons per hour.
For Pool B, the rate is 38,000 gallons / 7 hours ≈ 5,428.57 gallons per hour.
Comparing the rates, we can see that Pool B fills up at a faster rate than Pool A. Therefore, the answer is 2 for Pool B.
To determine which pool will fill up at a faster rate, we need to calculate the rate of filling for both pools. The rate of filling is calculated by dividing the number of gallons by the number of hours taken to fill the pool.
For Pool A:
Rate of filling = 30,000 gallons / 6 hours = 5,000 gallons per hour
For Pool B:
Rate of filling = 38,000 gallons / 7 hours = 5,428.57 gallons per hour (rounded to two decimal places)
Comparing the rates, we can see that Pool B fills up at a faster rate because its rate of filling is higher than that of Pool A.
So, the correct answer is 2 for Pool B.
