A swimming pool is being filled with 15 gallons every 8 min how many gallons will be filled in the pool be in 72 min?

1 answer

To find out how many gallons will be filled in the pool in 72 minutes, we need to divide the total time (72 min) by the time it takes to fill the pool (8 min) and then multiply it by the amount of water being added each time (15 gallons).

Number of gallons = (72 min / 8 min) * 15 gallons
Number of gallons = 9 * 15
Number of gallons = 135 gallons

Therefore, 135 gallons will be filled in the pool in 72 minutes.
