Problem:
1. Kaplan’s swimming pool has 5,000 liters of water in it. Water is filling the pool at a rate of 37 liters per minute. Write an expression for the amount of water, in liters, in the swimming pool after M minutes?
Starting water level, t0 = 5,000 liters
Rate= 37liters/minute
Water level after t minutes: Vt
2. Using the equation from part 1, how many liters will be left after 3 hours and 25 minute?
3. If the water drains from the swimming pool at a different rate of 42 liters per minute, how many hours will it take 6,455 liters of water to drain?
