    Assuming that the pool has a flat bottom, the volume of water is

    V=length*width*height

    =28*12*8 cubic feet

    12 cubic yards/minute = volume/time

    Find the volume by multiplying width, height and length

    Volume = 18*10*3 = 540 cubic yards

    Back to original equation:

    12 = 540/time

    time = 540/12

    time = 45 minutes
