Peter is filling a swimming pool with water. After 7 minutes the pool contains 1,372 gallons of water after 12 minutes the pool contains 2,352 gallons of water at what rate in gallons per minute is the pool being filled?

Respuesta :

If the pool's being filled at a constant rate, then this rate is equal to the average rate, which would be

(2352 gal - 1372 gal) / (12 min - 7 min) = 980/5 gal/min = 196 gal/min
