One of the attractions at Typhoon Lagoon, a water park in Florida, is a surf pool. 303,200.0 liters of water are used for each wave in the surf pool & waves are generated every ninety seconds. How many gallons of water are used every thirty minutes in the surf pool?

Answer 1

To solve this problem, we first need to convert the liters of water to gallons.

1 liter is equal to 0.264172 gallons.

So, 303,200.0 liters is equal to 303,200.0 * 0.264172 = 80,022.91 gallons.

Next, we need to find out how many waves are generated in thirty minutes.

There are 60 seconds in a minute, so there are 30 * 60 = 1800 seconds in thirty minutes.

Since waves are generated every ninety seconds, there are 1800 / 90 = 20 waves generated in thirty minutes.

Finally, we can calculate the total gallons of water used in thirty minutes by multiplying the gallons used per wave by the number of waves.

Total gallons of water used in thirty minutes = 80,022.91 gallons/wave * 20 waves = 1,600,458.2 gallons.

Therefore, 1,600,458.2 gallons of water are used every thirty minutes in the surf pool.
