Answer:
0.5%
Step-by-step explanation:
That percentage would be:
8 people
--------------------- = (1/200) = 0.005 multiplied by 100% yields 0.5%
1600 people
-3/5 divided by 7/6 is -18/35
There's a catch here, and I don't really want to go into full detail. Because of
this catch, I think it would be unusually tough to write a simple equation for this
situation. If you wouldn't mind, let's just list it instead:
<u>After</u> . . <u>water added</u> . . <u>total in pool</u>
7 min . . . 14 gallons . . . 14 gallons
1 more . . 1 gallon . . . . . 15 gallons
7 more . . 14 gallons . . . 29 gallons
1 more . . 1 gallon . . . . . 30 gallons
5 more . . 10 gallons . . . 40 gallons, the pool is full
Add up all the minutes: <u>21 minutes</u>
