Question

While filling a pool 144centimeters deep, Fiona notices it has taken 2 hours to fill it up to a depth of 36 centimeters. 1a At what rate, in meters per hour, is the pool being filled up? Leave your answer as a decimal.

Answer 1

Answer:

Rate at which pool is getting filled $0.18$ m/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Depth up to which the pool gets filled in two hours is equal to $36$ centimeter

As we know

One meter $= 100$ centimeter

So $36$ centimeter is equal to $0.36$ meter

Rate at which pool is getting filled is equal to height up to which water is filled in 2 hours divided by time taken

Rate at which pool is getting filled $\frac{0.36}{2} = 0.18$ m/hr
