Question 847913: Jill has a swimming pool in her backyard. It is shaped like a rectangle, and measures approximately 19.7 feet wide and 29.5 feet long. It is an average of 5 feet deep. During a few hot weeks during the summer, some water evaporates from the pool, and Jill needs to add 10 inches of water to the depth of the pool, using her garden hose. Although her water pressure varies, the water flows through Jill�s garden hose at an average rate of 10 gallons/minute.
1. Convert all measurements to metric units (meters, cubic meters, and liters).
2.How much water (how many liters) will Jill need to add to her pool to return the water level to its original depth? How many gallons of water is this?
3.How long will Jill need to run the hose?

This more of a unit conversion problem than a work or pool filling problem.
The pool filling portion is really a volume problem.
