A small pool is being drained. There are 1,320 gallons of water remaining in the pool after 2 minutes and 1, 040 gallons after 9 minutes. How long would it take for the pool to be completely drained? (1 point)

35 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

For us to solve the question, we have to calculate the amount of gallons of water that is drained every minute. This will be:

= (1320 - 1040) / (9 - 2)

= 280/7

= 40 gallons per minute

Since we are told that 1,320 gallons of water remain in the pool after 2 minutes. This means that the total water in the pool at the beginning was:

= 1320 gallons + (40 × 2)

= 1320 gallons + 80 gallons

= 1400 gallons

The time taken for the pool to be completely drained will be:

= Total water in pool / Gallons drained per minute

= 1400 / 40

= 35 minutes

360/29
