Hey guys!
Would like your views on OG11 PS 154.
An empty pool being filled with water at a constant rate takes 8 hours to fill 3/5 of it's capacity. How much more time will it take to finish filling the pool?
Now it is clear this is a rates and work questions, but why, in the rt = w equation, isn’t 8 used as the t variable (8 hrs should denote time). Whereas it is actually the amount of work done.
i.e. the correctly way to build the formula is 3/5 t = 8
Not sure why 8 is work?
