ANSWER
20 hours: The volume of the pool is (length) × (width) × (height), or 30×10×2=600 cubic meters. Use a standard work equation, RT= W, where W represents the total work of 600 m

.
0.5×t=600
t=1200 minutes
Convert this time to hours by dividing by 60: 1200÷60=20 hours.
Alternatively, you could convert first:
hr
0.5m

×60min=
hr
30m

Next, use the standard work equation:
30 t = 600
t = 20 hours
