Answer:
Option no C 600 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
gallons of pool = 24000 gallon
Rate at which it is filled = 40 gallons per minute
To find :
Time taken to fill the pool=?
Solution:
We know that rate is the time in which a thing is being done at per minute or per hour or per second. In our question it is given that the rate is 40 gallons per minute which means that 40 gallons are filled in one minute
Now
In one minute = 40 gallons filled
Total pool size = 24000 gallons
Total time taken = [tex]\frac{Total pool size}{gallon filled in one minute}[/tex]
Putting in the values
Total time taken = [tex]\frac{24000}{40}[/tex]
Total time taken = 600 minutes
So the answer is option c which is 600 minutes
