Maintaining the chlorine balance in the pool prevents bacteria from growing in the water. The basic

balance of chlorine to water is a concentration of 3 mg/Liter ( 3PPM).
John has a pool 16 meters long, 5 meters wide and 2.4 meters deep. How much chlorine does John
need to pour into the pool?

Answer:

Explanation:

The volume of the pool:

16 * 5 * 2.4 = 192

1 liter = 0.001 cubic meters

There are 192 cubic meters in the pool.

Therefore, John needs to pour 0.192 liters of chlorine into the pool.

Hope this helped!
