Water is pumped from a well at the rate of 700 gal/min. How many hours will it take to fill a 1,000,000 gallon storage tank?

Solution

Given: Water is pumped from a well at the rate of 700 gal/min.

So, the total minutes required to fill a 1,000,000 gallon storage tank is: 1,000,000 / 700 = 1428.57 ~= 1429 minutes.

And 1429 minutes = 23.82 hrs or 23 hours 49 minutes.
