Swimming pool at rate 127 galmin If the pool dimensions are

Swimming pool at rate 12.7 gal/min. If the pool dimensions are 22.7 ft wide, 46.3 ft long and 11.3 ft deep, how long does it take to fill the pool?

1 gallon=231 cubic inches

Here the speed of the water filling the swimming pool is in volume of the water in gallons per minute is given to be 12.7 gal / min.

The volume of the pool = length*breadth* height=

=22.7*46.3*11.3 cubic feet.

=11876.413 c ft.

=11876.413*(12)^ 3 cubic inch

=11876.413*12^3/231 gallons.--------(1), as 231 cubic inch = 1 gallon.

Speed or rate of water filling of the tank = 12.7 gal / min (2).

(2)/(1) gives the time required to fill the swimming pool : 11876.413*12^3/(231*12.7)minutes

=6995.412504 min

=116.5902084 hrs

=4.85792535 days.
