City worker drain a community pool that contains 403,920 gallons of water. The pump they use removes water at a rate of 40 cubic feet per minute. One cubic foot of water contains 7.48 gallons how long in hours will it take to remove all the water from the pool

Respuesta :

Answer:

22.5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

One cubic foot of water contains 7.48 gallons, so 40 cubic feet of water would equal 7.48 × 40, or 299.2 gallons. So the pumping rate is 299.2 gallons per minute. Multiplying 299.2 by 60, we have

299.2 × 60, or 17952 gallons per hour. Finally, divide 403,920 by 17,952 to find the number of hours to remove all the water: 403,920 ÷ 17,952 = 22.5 hours
