The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.
When full, one of the pools of Sapphire Island will hold 43,000 gallons of water. The pool currently holds 20,000 gallons of water and it is being filled at a rate of 130 gallons per minute. Write an equation that can be used to find h, the number of hours it will take to fill the pool from its current level. Explain the steps you used to write your equation.
Answer and Step-by-step explanation: The total capacity of the pool is 43,000 gallons. Initially, it has 20,000 gallons.
The rate is 130 gallons per minute and since it wants in hours:
1 minute = hours
then:
rate = 130 ÷
rate = 130*60
Equation for the number of hours to fill the pool:
20,000 + 130*60(h) = 43,000
20,000 + 7800h = 43,000
