The density of water is 1.00 g/mL. If your swimming poolholds 208,000 gallons of water, what is the map that outlinethe steps to find the weight of the water in a filled swimmingpool in tons?O g --> mL --> L --> gal --> lb --> tonsO g--> L --> mL --> gal --> lb --> tonsO gal --> mL --> L --> g --> lb --> tonsO gal --> L --> mL --> g --> lb --> tons

Answer:

gal --> L --> mL --> g --> lb --> tons

Explanations:

The following for calculating the density is expressed as;


density=(mass)/(volume)

Convert gallons to Litres

1 gallon = 3.785 liters

208,000 gallons = 787280Litres

Convert Litres to mL


\begin{gathered} 1L=1000mL \\ 787,280L=787280*1000 \\ 787,280L=787,280,000mL \end{gathered}

Determine the mass


\begin{gathered} Mass=density* volume \\ Mass=(1.00g)/(mL)*787,280,000mL \\ Mass=787,280,000g \end{gathered}

Convert grams to pounds


\begin{gathered} Mass\text{ of water}=0.00220462*787,280,000 \\ Mass\text{ of water}=1735653.23lb \end{gathered}

Convert pounds to tons


\begin{gathered} Mass\text{ of water in ton}=0.0005*1735653.23 \\ Mass\text{ of water in ton}=867.82tons \end{gathered}

Based on the solution above, the correct map that outline the steps to find the weight of the water in a filled swimming pool in tons is gal --> L --> mL --> g --> lb --> tons
