Question

Jill wants to drain swimming pool containing 600,000 L of water. If she drains out the water at the rate of 3,000 L every hour, how many days would it take to empty the pool.

Answer 1

600000 L / 3000 Lph = 200 hours

200 h / 24 hpd = 8 1/3

 

The pool drains in 8 and one-third days, or eight days and eight hours.
