Answer:

12:30 pm

Step-by-step explanation:

8:30 am pond is empty

10:30 am pound is 1,400 gallons full

  time?    pound is 2,800 gallons full

from 8:30 to 10:30 are 2 hours so the rate of filling up is

             1,400 gallons in 2 hours

to have a whole pond filled we need another 2 hours because

in another 2 hours will have another 1,400 gallons so a pound full. 8:30 am + 2hours = 12:30 pm

8:30 am pond is empty

10:30 am pound is 1,400 gallons full

12:30 pm pound is 2,800 gallons full.
