Two pipes are being used to fill a pool. The first pipe fills 1/3rd of the pool in 1 hour while the second pipe fills 1/2 of the pool in 1 hour. Water is being removed from the pool at a rate of 20 liters per minute. What is the time to fill the pool and the new flow rate if water is removed at 30 liters per minute?

Solution

Please allow me a moment to work on the answers.The image contains a problem related to water flow and pool filling.

Here are the answers to the two parts of the problem:

(a) Time taken to fill the pool:
Answer: 3 hours.

(b) New rate of water flow:
Answer: 30 liters per minute.

If you'd like more details or further explanation, feel free to ask.

Relative questions:

  1. What formula relates flow rate, time, and volume?
  2. How does doubling the water flow rate affect the filling time of a pool?
  3. What other factors can influence the flow rate of water into a pool?
  4. Can you solve for the new rate of flow using a different method?
  5. How would the time change if the pool's volume increased by 50%?

Tip: Always double-check units when solving for flow rates and times.
