You can put this solution on YOUR website! A pipe will fill a swimming pool in twelve hours. What part of the pool will be filled after five hours?
.
From: "A pipe will fill a swimming pool in twelve hours."
we have the rate that the pipe can fill the pool:
1 pool per 12 hours
or
1/12
.
If five hours:
5(1/12)
= 5/12
or
= 0.42 of the pool will be filled in 5 hours
