Question

Constance is filling her pool up with water. *the shape is a rectangular prism* the length is 10, the width is 5 and the height is 4cm. I already know that the volume is 200.My question is, if Constance wanted the pool to be 95% full, how much water would go into the pool?

Answer 1

We are given that a pool that has a rectangular prism shape has a volume of 200 cm^3. We would like to fill the pool to 95% of its capacity therefore, the volume is obtained by taking the 95% of 200. We do that like this:

`200*(95)/(100)`

Solving the operation we get:

`200*(95)/(100)=190`

Therefore, the amount of water must be 190 cm^3.
