Sam is filling up his pool the water hose fills the 441 Gallon pool in 49 minutes at what rate did the holes fill the pool in gallons per minute

1 answer

To find the rate at which the hose fills the pool in gallons per minute, you can use the formula:

\[ \text{Rate} = \frac{\text{Total Volume}}{\text{Time}} \]

Given that the total volume of the pool is 441 gallons and the time taken to fill the pool is 49 minutes, the calculation would be:

\[ \text{Rate} = \frac{441 \text{ gallons}}{49 \text{ minutes}} = 9 \text{ gallons per minute} \]

So, the hose fills the pool at a rate of 9 gallons per minute.
