<PRE><B>Question 598909</B>
A swimming pool is filling at the rate of 40 gallons every 2 minutes. If the pool continues to fill at the same rate, how many gallons will be in the pool after 3 hours?
----
3 hrs = 180 minutes
---
Proportion:
gallons/time = gallons/time
-------------
x/180 = 40/2
---
x = 3600 gallons
====================
