A swimming pool holds 375,000 liters of water. Two large hoses are used to fill the pool.

The first hose fills at a rate of 1,500 liters per hour, and the second hose fills at a rate of 2,000 liters per hour.

How many hours does it take to fill the pool completely?

Answer (2)

when both hoses. are working together. they pour 1500 + 2000 = 3500 liters per hour.
The hours it takes to fill is 375,000 / 3,500 .

To fill the swimming pool, the combined filling rate of the two hoses is 3,500 liters per hour. With a total pool volume of 375,000 liters, it takes approximately 107.14 hours to fill it completely. Therefore, both hoses together will take around 107 hours and 8 minutes to fill the pool.
