Answer:  100 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

7.5 gal/ft^3 for water

A 2160 ft^3 pool has room for (2160 ft^3)*(7.5 gal/ft^3) = 16,200 gallons of water

Water needed to fill:  (16,200 gal - 1200 gal) = 15,000 gal

Rate of filling:  20 ft^3/min

                         (20 ft^3/min)*(7.5 gal/ft^3) = 150 gal/min

Tiome to add 15,000 gallons of water:

(15,000 gal/150 gal/min) = 100 minutes
