\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " The \" solution \" in the post by @mananth is INCORRECT, since his conversion \" gallons ---> liters \" is incorrect.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " The problem itself is a simple arithmetic, and I came to bring a straightforward solution.\r

document.write( "1 gallon is 3.78541 liters.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "10,000 gallons = 3.78541*10000 = 37854.1 liters.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "The rate of draining is 35 liters per minute\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "The time of draining =  = 1081.55 minutes (rounded) = 18.026 hours (rounded).\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "It is LESS than one day.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "It is about 18 hours.\r\n" );
