Final answer:
After calculating the volume of the pool in cubic feet (2250 cubic feet), and then converting that to quarts (16831.17 quarts), it is apparent there might be a typo in the provided options as none match the correct calculation.
Step-by-step explanation:
To calculate the volume of water the pool can hold in quarts, start by calculating the pool's volume in cubic feet. The formula for volume is length times width times depth. So for the pool, it would be:
Volume = length × width × depth = 30.0 ft × 15.0 ft × 5.0 ft = 2250 cubic feet.
Since 1 cubic foot is equal to 7.48052 quarts, you then convert the pool's volume to quarts:
Volume in quarts = Volume in cubic feet × 7.48052 quarts/cubic foot = 2250 × 7.48052 = 16831.17 quarts.
The closest answer to this calculation from the options given is:
d) 4500 quarts. However, this might be a typo since none of the answer choices are accurate according to the calculation. The accurate volume in quarts is 16831.17, indicating a typo or an error in the provided options.
