Cross multiplying:-
18*x = 12*30
x = 360 / 18
x = 20 answer
The water is flowing into the pool at 1.5 gallons per minute and it would take 20 minutes to be filled.
<h3>
What is an Equation</h3>
An equation is used to show the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.
The pool holds 30 gallons of water. After 5 minutes, the pool is about one fourth full. Hence:
Time to full the pool = 5 minutes * 4 = 20 minutes
Rate of water flow = 30 gallons/20 minutes = 1.5 gallons per minute
The water is flowing into the pool at 1.5 gallons per minute and it would take 20 minutes to be filled.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
This may seem a bit tricky because we are not given enough info really to plug in and solve for the rate. We are told, however, that we are interested in doubling whatever amount we invested. So it is up to us to pick an amount for P, then double it for A(t). Let's use P = 1000 so A(t) = 2000. Filling in then:
and

We need to get that r all by itself and right now it's quite buried. Begin by dividing both sides by 1000 to get

Now take the 60th root of both sides to get

Subtract 1 from both sides to get
and multiply both sides by 12 to finally get the rate in decimal form:
r = .13943328
To get that in a percent form, multiply it by 100:
r = 13.9%
Answer:
5 is the leading coefficient
1 feet = 12 inches
3.5 feet = x inches
Cross multiply
12(3.5) = 1x
x = 42 inches
