the piney creek swim club is getting ready for the opening day of summer season. The pool holds 22,410 gallons of water, and the water is being pumped in at 540 gallons per hour. The swim club has it's first practice in 42 hours. will the pool be ready?

Two ways to look at this     is 22410 gal/540gal/hr LESS than 42?       = 41.5    Yes!  They will make it.

OR

is 540 gal/hr  x 42 hours GREATER than 22410 ?   =22680      Yes!  They will make it.
