Answer:

The volume of the rectangular swimming pool is
$384.75\ m^(3)$ or
$384(3)/(4)\ m^(3)$

Explanation:

we know that

The volume of the rectangular swimming pool is equal to

V=LWH

we have

$L=19\ m$

$W=13(1)/(2)\ m=(13*2+1)/(2)=(27)/(2)\ m$

$H=1(1)/(2)\ m=(1*2+1)/(2)=(3)/(2)\ m$

substitute

V=(19)((27)/(2))((3)/(2))

$V=(1,539)/(4)=384.75\ m^(3)$

Convert to mixed number

$384.75=384(3)/(4)\ m^(3)$
