Question

A swimming pool has a capacity of 10,000 gallons of water. If the drain removes 500 gallons of water in 10 minutes, what is the change in the amount of water in gallons in 1 minute?

Answer 1

To find the change in the amount of water in gallons in 1 minute, we divide the amount of water removed in 10 minutes by 10: 500 gallons / 10 minutes = <<500/10=50>>50 gallons/minute. Answer: \boxed{50}.
