Answer: To convert cubic meters (m³) to gallons, we can use the conversion factor 1 m³ = 264.172 gallons.

First, we need to find the amount of water needed to fill the pool to 94% of its capacity. We can do this by multiplying the volume of the pool (60 m³) by 94% (0.94).

60 m³ * 0.94 = 56.4 m³

Now we can use the conversion factor to convert the volume in cubic meters to gallons:

56.4 m³ * 264.172 gallons/m³ = 14,958.2 gallons

So the number of gallons of water that will be needed to fill the empty swimming pool to 94% of its capacity is 14,958.2 gallons.

Rounded to 3 decimal values is 14,958.2 gallons.
