Question

An empty swimming pool is going to be filled with water. The swimming pool is a cuboid, that is 25 metres long, 10 metres wide and 2 metres deep. It is being filled at a rate of 800 litres per minute Given 1m3 = 1000 Litres, how long it will take to fill the swimming pool? Give your answer in hours and minutes.

Answer 1

Answer: 10 hours and 25 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply 25, 10, and 2 to find volume. Volume is 500 metres.

1 meter = 1000 litres. 500 * 1000 = 500,000 litres in volume.

500,000/ 800= 625 minutes.

625 minutes = 10 hours and 25 minutes
