A)Given that the swimming pool model is 10.2 inches long, 5.4 inches wide, and 6.7 inches deep. And for every 1.8 inches, the actual pool has 3 meters.

So #1"inch" equiv3/1.8m=5/3m#

So actual length of the pool #L=10.2xx5/3m=17m#

Actual width of the pool #W=5.4xx5/3m=9m#

Actual depth of the pool #D=6.7xx5/3m=33.5/3m#

So volume of the pool

#L*W*D=17xx9xx33.5/3m^3=1708.5m^3#

B)The rate of draining the pool #=1708.5/2.75~~621.27m^3"/"hr#
