Question

Our backyard pool holds 10,000 gallons. Its average depth is 4 feet deep and it is 10 feet long. If there are 7.48 gallons in a cubic foot, how wide is the pool?

Answer 1

Explanation:

The pool is 10 feet long and 4 feet deep. This means the pool has a volume of 40 cubic feet (10 feet x 4 feet x 1 foot). To calculate the width of the pool, divide the total volume (40) by the length (10) to get 4 feet. Therefore, the width of the pool is 4 feet.
