  1. Problem Statement • GIVEN: 1 fire hose to fill Reser Stadium • FIND: How long it takes to fill Reser Stadium with a fire hose

  2. Estimates

  3. Team’s Method • Estimated the area of Reser Stadium • Estimated that 1 yd^3 was 5 gallons • Estimated fire hose releases 30 gal of water per minute

  4. Statement of Any Assumptions • Estimated Reser Stadium to be 1,950,000 yd^3 • Estimated that a fire hose releases 30 gal of water per minute

  5. Solution • 150 yd (width) x 200 yd (length) x 65 yd (height) • = 1,950,000 yd^3 x (5 gal/ 1 yd^3) • = (9,750,000 yd^3/gal) / (30 gal / min) • = (325,000 min/gal) / 60 minutes • =5416 hrs / 24 hrs • =approx. 226 days
