A landscaper has an empty 1,000-gallon fish pond to fill.
His hose delivers one quart of water every thirty seconds.
He turns on the hose at 7:00 A.M. and leaves.
When he returns at the same time the next day, the pond is:
:
that would be 1/2 gal/min
:
24 hrs * 60 min * half gallon
%2824+%2A+60+%2A+.5%29%2F1000 = 720%2F1000, about three-quarters full
