A homeowner has just installed a swimming pool with a capacity of 3.5 x 104 gallons. If the pool is initially empty, how many hours will it take to fill it using only a garden hose that delivers 630 gallons of water per hour? Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

To find out how many hours it will take to fill the pool, we can use the formula:

\[
\text{Time} = \frac{\text{Pool Capacity}}{\text{Rate of Water Flow}}
\]

Where:
- Pool capacity = \( 3.5 \times 10^4 \) gallons = 35,000 gallons
- Rate of water flow = 630 gallons per hour

Now we calculate the time:

\[
\text{Time} = \frac{35,000 \text{ gallons}}{630 \text{ gallons per hour}} = 55.56 \text{ hours}
\]

Rounding to the nearest whole number:
