Question

Leola added 2,400 gallons of water into her empty swimming pool. The pool is ¾ full. How many gallons of water does a full pool hold?

Answer 1

3200 gallons

Explanation:

let x be the number of gallons it takes to fill the pool.

2400=3/4x

4/3(2400)=4/3(3/4)x

3200=x

or

3200/4g=1/4

800g=1/4

800g*4=3200g
