    After 2.5 minutes the pool will have 27 gallons of water.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The pool has already 12 gallons of water and Eric wants to fill it to at least 27 gallons.

    The water is flowing at a rate of 6 gallons per minute.

    Let, after t minutes the pool will have at least 27 gallons of water.

    Therefore, we can write the equation as

    27 = 12 + 6t

    ⇒ 6t = 15

    ⇒ t = 2.5 minutes.

    Therefore, after 2.5 minutes the pool will have 27 gallons of water. (Answer)
