Question 254914: A swimming pool is 1 meters deep, 6 meters wide, and 30 meters long. Water is pumped into the pool at a rate of 100 liters per minute. How many hours will it take to fill the pool? (Remember that there are 1000 liters in a cubic meter). Answer by CharlesG2(834) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! A swimming pool is 1 meters deep, 6 meters wide, and 30 meters long. Water is pumped into the pool at a rate of 100 liters per minute. How many hours will it take to fill the pool? (Remember that there are 1000 liters in a cubic meter).
volume = 1 * 6 * 30 = 180 cubic meters
1000 liters / 1 cubic meter = x liters / 180 cubic meters
1000 * 180 = x
x=18000 liters needed to fill pool
18000 liters / y minutes = 100 liters / 1 minute
18000=100y
y=180 minutes
y=180 minutes * 1 hour / 60 minutes = 3 hours
