Answer:

196 gallon/minute

Step-by-step explanation:

Peter is filling a swimming pool with water

After a period of 7 minutes the pool is filled up with 1372 gallons

After 12 minutes the pool is filled up with 2352 gallons

Therefore the rate in gallon per minutes at which the pool is being filled can be calculated as follows

=( 2352-1372)/(12-7)

= 980/5

= 196 gallon/minute

Hence the pool is filled up at 196 gallon/minute
