A swimming pool that measures 12 feet by 30 feet has an average depth of 6 feet and contains 16,100 gallons of water. If water is drained from the pool at the rate of 700 gallons every 3 days, how many days will it take to drain the pool completely?

Length = 12 feet

Width = 30 feet

Depth = 6 feet

1 liquid gallon = 0.134 cubic feet

Volume = 12 x 30 x 6 = 2160 feet ^3

1 liquid gallon = 0.134 cubic feet
