You want to fill the pool to the top.  You calculate that it will take 4 hours to fill the pool.    It actually takes you 4.5 hours to fill the pool.  You suspect the pool is leaking.  How much water has leaked from the pool during the 4.5 hours?   Assuming a uniform filling rate, and neglecting evaporation,  what is the leakage rate (to the nearest gal. per minute)?  (1 cu. ft. =7.5 gal.)   </SPAN>\n" );
