Question

The Smiths have a​ rectangular, above-ground swimming pool. The manufacturer says that the pool holds​ 14,040 gallons of water when filled to capacity. After it is​ filled, Mr. Smith follows the​ manufacturer's recommendation of adding 1 ounce of chlorine for every​ 2,700 gallons of​ water, every other day. About how many pounds of chlorine will Mr. Smith add to the pool in 3​ weeks?

Answer 1

54.6 ounces because 14,040 divided by 2,700 you will get 3 week and the 21 days so you would do is 21 days divided by 2 because every other day is 10.5 days. So, than 5.2 *10.5 is 54.6.

Answer 2

54.6 ounces

Explanation:

14,040/2,700=5.2

3 weeks is 21 days

21 days divided by 2 because every other day is 10.5 days

5.2 times 10.5 is 54.6
