Answer:
<u>The rate the swimming pool is filled is 9 gallons of water per minute</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's review the information provided by Ronald to us to help him to find the answer to the question:
Time it takes to fill the swimming pool = 8 minutes
Amount of water the swimming pool can hold = 72 gallons
2. At what rate does the swimming pool fill, in gallons per minute?
Rate the swimming pool is filled = Amount of water the swimming pool can hold /Time it takes to fill the swimming pool
Replacing with the real values, we have:
Rate the swimming pool is filled = 72/8 = 9 gallons of water per minute
