D. 4,278.07 gal

Answer 1

A swimming pool with a volume of 32,700 cubic feet holds 244,596.964 gallons of water; thus the correct answer is C. 244,596 gal.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how many gallons of water a swimming pool that has a volume of 32,700 cubic feet holds, we need to know the conversion factor between cubic feet and gallons. The conversion factor is:

1 cubic foot = 7.48052 gallons.

Now, we can multiply the volume of the swimming pool in cubic feet by this conversion factor to find the number of gallons:

32,700 cubic feet × 7.48052 gallons/cubic foot = 244,596.964 gallons.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

C. 244,596 gal

Answer 2

C. 244,596 gal

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the number of gallons of water that a swimming pool holds, you can use the following formula:

gallons = cubic feet * 7.48

Plugging in the given volume of 32,700 cubic feet, you get:

gallons = 32,700 cubic feet * 7.48

= 244,596 gal

Therefore, the swimming pool holds approximately 244,596 gallons of water.
