100 minutes

Answer :

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.
