1) A swimming pool currently has 1,500 gallons of water in it and is filling at a rate of two gallons per hour. How many gallons will the pool hold in eight hours?

1516 Gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, we will simply take the initial amount of water, 1500 gallons, and add the extra water after eight hours.

So if the pool is filling at a rate of 2 gallons per hour, and 8 hours pass by, then the pool will have filled an additional 16 gallons.  (2 * 8 = 16).

Then, we add the initial amount of 1500 gallons to the additional 16 gallons to get the amount of water in the pool after 8 hours.

The total the pool is holding is 1516 gallons after 8 hours.

Cheers.
