Question

louis filled his 275.2 - gallon pool with water in 8.6 hours. how many gallons per hour did he use? a 32 gallons b \\(\frac{1}{32}\\) gallons c \\(\frac{3}{5}\\) gallons d 28 gallons

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the formula

To find the rate (gallons per hour), we use the formula: Rate = Total Volume / Time.

Step2: Substitute the values

Total volume is 275.2 gallons and time is 8.6 hours. So, Rate = \( \frac{275.2}{8.6} \)

Step3: Perform the division

\( \frac{275.2}{8.6} = 32 \) (since 8.6 * 32 = 275.2)

Answer:

A. 32 gallons
