Answer: 19 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The capacity of the swimming pool is 22,800.

Rate of water flow =300 gallons per hour.

The number of hoses = 4

Then , the amount of water flows by 4 hoses is given by :-

[tex]4\times300=1200[/tex]

⇒ The increase in the water level in the swimming pool in one hour= 1200 gallon.

Then , the time taken to fill the pool is given by :-

[tex]T=\dfrac{22800}{1200}=19\text{ hours}[/tex]
