Question

a cubic foot of water is about 7.48 gallons. how many gallons of water would be needed to fill the rectangular pool to 91% capacity?

w= 28ft
l= 8ft
h= 5ft

the pool will require ____ gallons of water (round to the nearest tenths place)

Answer 1

wrong check your work

Answer 2

wrong again

Answer 3

First, we need to calculate the volume of the pool:

Volume = length x width x height
Volume = 28ft x 8ft x 5ft
Volume = 1120 cubic feet

Now, we need to find 91% of the volume to determine how many gallons are needed to fill the pool to 91% capacity:

0.91 x 1120 = 1019.2 cubic feet

Now, we convert this volume to gallons:

1019.2 cubic feet x 7.48 gallons/cubic foot = 7618.016

Therefore, the pool will require approximately 7618.0 gallons of water to fill it to 91% capacity.

Answer 4

Apologies for the error. Let's correct it.

First, we calculate the volume of the rectangular pool:

Volume = length x width x height
Volume = 28ft x 8ft x 5ft
Volume = 1120 cubic feet

Next, we find 91% of the volume:

91% of 1120 = 0.91 x 1120 = 1019.2 cubic feet

Finally, we convert the volume to gallons:

1019.2 cubic feet x 7.48 gallons/cubic foot = 7614.816 gallons

Therefore, the pool will require approximately 7614.8 gallons of water to fill it to 91% capacity. Thank you for pointing out the mistake.

Answer 5

I apologize for the mistakes in my previous responses. Let's correct it again.

Given:
Volume of the rectangular pool = 28ft x 8ft x 5ft = 1120 cubic feet
1 cubic foot of water is about 7.48 gallons

To fill the rectangular pool to 91% capacity:
91% of 1120 cubic feet = 0.91 x 1120 = 1019.2 cubic feet

Now, we need to convert this volume to gallons:
1019.2 cubic feet x 7.48 gallons/cubic foot = 7615.616 gallons

Therefore, the pool will require approximately 7615.6 gallons of water to fill it to 91% capacity. Thank you for your patience.
