99 minutes

75 minutes

125 minutes

100 minutes

Answer 1

Answer:

• 100 minutes

Solution:

We know that:

• Capacity = 2,500 gallons
• Hose = 25 gallons/minute

Solution:

• 25 gallons = 1 minute
• => 25x gallons = x minutes = 2500 gallons
• => 25x = 2500
• => x = 100 minutes

Hence, it will take 100 minutes to fill the pool.
