Question

A swimming pool in the shape of a rectangular prism measures 25 meters long, 3 meters from the bottom of the pool to the water line, and 16 meters wide. Which expression represents the number of cubic meters of water the swimming pool holds?"

A) \(25 \times 3 \times 16\)

B) \(25 + 3 + 16\)

C) \(25 \div 3 \div 16\)

D) \((25 \times 16) + 3\)

Answer 1

The expression that represents the number of cubic meters of water the swimming pool holds is A) 25 imes 3 imes 16.

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression that represents the number of cubic meters of water the swimming pool holds is A) 25 imes 3 imes 16. To find the volume of the swimming pool, we need to multiply the length, width, and height of the pool. The length of the pool is 25 meters, the width is 16 meters, and the height from the bottom to the water line is 3 meters. Multiplying these values together gives us the total volume of the pool in cubic meters.
