Question

A bucket holds 6 litres of water. A paddling pool is in the shape of a cuboid with dimensions 700mm x 1800mm x 3000mm. How many buckets of water would be required to fill the pool to the brim?

700mm=0.7m
3000mm= 3m
1800=1.8m

0.7 x 1.8 x 3 = 3.78m^3

37.8m^3 = 37,800L
37,800L ÷ 6L = 630Tubs

If the pool has a leak and loses water at the rate of 20ml per second, how long would it take for the pool to empty completely?

Answer 1

20ml = 0.02L, so
37800L / (.02L/s) = 1,890,000 seconds = 21 days 21 hrs
