You can put this solution on YOUR website! If water is draining a pool at a rate of 5t gallons per minute write an expression giving the amount of water drained after t hours.
---
t hours = 60t minutes
-----
Water drained = 5t*(60t) = 300t^2
======================
Write an equation which expresses when the pool has been drained if the total volume of the pool is 500 gallons.
----
500 - 300t^2 = 0
