The water is flowing into the pool at 1.5 gallons per minute and it would take 20 minutes to be filled.

What is an Equation

An equation is used to show the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.

The pool holds 30 gallons of water. After 5 minutes, the pool is about one fourth full. Hence:

Time to full the pool = 5 minutes * 4 = 20 minutes

Rate of water flow = 30 gallons/20 minutes = 1.5 gallons per minute

The water is flowing into the pool at 1.5 gallons per minute and it would take 20 minutes to be filled.
