Asmall inflatable pool holds 10 gallons of water. a tiny leak causes the amount of water in the pool to change by -0.05 gallon each hour until the pool is empty what is the total change in the amount of water

200 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

A small inflatable pool that holds the amount of water = 10 gallons

A tiny leak causes the change in water = -0.05 gallon

Since quantity is with negative notation that represents that quantity of the water is reducing.

Let it takes x hours to empty the pool.

Therefore, amount water leaked in x hours = 0.05x gallons

And this amount is equal to 10 gallons.

0.05x = 10

x =

 = 200 hours

Therefore, in 200 hours pool will be emptied.
