Answer:
450 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
First, let's calculate the volume of the pool when filled. Volume will be: (length x width x height).
Volume = 6' x 5' x 2 ' = 60 ft^3
1 ft^3 of water occupies 7.5 gallons. That's a conversion factor for water: (7.5 gal)/(1 ft^3).
The total gallons of water in a filled pool would be:\
(60 ft^3)*((7.5 gal)/(1 ft^3)) = 4500 gallons
At a rate of 10 gallons/min, it would take:
(4500 gallons)/(10 gallons/min) = 450 minutes, or 450/60 = 7.5 hours
