Question 5

A swimming pool has a length of 30 ft, a width of 12 ft, and a uniform depth of 8 ft. How many gallons of water does it hold?
(Hint: Find the volume in cubic ft and then use dimensional analysis to convert to gallons. 7.5 gal - 1 cubic ft.)
Round your answer to the nearest whole gallon, but do not include a unit of measure with your response.
