Rachael Marks · Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

volume of the pool=3.14*4²*1.9=95.456 m³

time required=96.456:16=5.966 hrs≈10 hrs

Ariana Shea · Answer 2

5.97 hours to the nearest hundredth.

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of water in the pool = π r^2 h

= π * 4^2 * 1.9 m^3

Time to fill the pool = (π * 4^2 * 1.9) / 16

= 5.97 hours.
