Please help me with this problem. As a result of heavy rain, the volume of water in a reservoir increased by 1400 acre-ft in 24 hours. Show that at some instant during that period the reservoir’s volume was increasing at a rate more than 225,000 gal/min. (An acre-foot is 43,560 ft3, the volume that would cover 1 acre to the depth of 1 ft. A cubic footholds 7.48 gal.)
