Question: Jimmy wants to play in the inflatable swimming pool in his backyard. The swimming pool is empty and the garage is locked, so he cannot use the hose to fill the pool. He finds a 2 gallon bucket and calculates that it takes 20 seconds to fill the bucket from the tap and carry it to the pool where he pours in the water. If the pool holds 84 gallons of water, how many minutes will it take Jimmy to fill the pool?
Answer: It will take 84 / 2 = 42 trips to fill the pool with water. This will take Jimmy 42 trips * 20 seconds per trip = 840 seconds. This means that Jimmy will spend 840 seconds * 1 minute / 60 seconds = 14 minutes filling the pool. The answer is 14.
