First you need to find the amount of gallons per hour
1000 ÷ 4 = 250
then divide that by the amount of gallons you want to find (2500)
2500 ÷ 250 = 10
the answer is C. 10 hours

Answer:

Option C. \(10\ hours\)

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A pipe can pump \(1000\) gallons of water in \(4\) hours

so

by proportion

Find how long would it take the pipe to fill a \(2500\) gallon pool

\(\frac{4}{1,000}\frac{hours}{gallons} =\frac{x}{2,500}\frac{hours}{gallons}\\ \\x=2,500*4/1,000\\ \\x=10\ hours\)
