\n" ); document.write( " If the water is pumped out of the pool at the rate of 13m^3(cubed) per hour,
\n" ); document.write( " how many hours does it take to empty the pool?
\n" ); document.write( "Use the value 3.14 for Pi , and round your answer to the nearest hour.
\n" ); document.write( ":

\n" ); document.write( "V = \"pi%2Ar%5E2%2Ah\"
\n" ); document.write( "V = \"pi%2A8%5E2%2A1.7\"

\n" ); document.write( "t = \"341.8%2F13\"
\n" ); document.write( "t = 26.3 ~ 26 hrs
\n" ); document.write( ":

\n" ); document.write( "Note: I used pi on the calc, you can recalculate it using 3.14, you will see it will still round out to 26 hrs
