    Step-by-step explanation:

    The capacity of the swimming pool is 105 gallons of water.

    There are currently 15 gallons of water

    ∴I need to fill (105-15) = 90 gallons of water

    Now,

    8 gallons of water are filled within 1 minute

    ∴1 gallon of water will be filled within = 1/8 minute

    ∴90 gallons of water will be filled within = 90/8 minutes

    =11.25 minutes
