Question

The dimensions of a rectangular pool are 25.5 feet by 15 feet. The depth of the water when full is 6 feet. Each cubic foot contains 7.48 gallons of water.

How many gallons of water, to the nearest tenth, are needed to fill the pool to 60% capacity?

Answer 1

Answer:10,300 gallons H2O

Explanation:

Volume = L*W*D

Vol Pool = 25.5*15*6 = 2295 ft^3

60% of 2295 ft^3 = 1377 ft^3

(1377 ft^3)*(7.48 gal/ft^3) = 10,300 gallons H2O
