To find the weight of the water in the pool, you can multiply the weight of one gallon of water by the total number of gallons in the pool.
Given:
- Weight of water per gallon = 8.3 lbs
- Volume of the pool = \( 6.6 \times 10^5 \) gallons
Now calculate the total weight:
\[ \text{Total weight} = \text{Weight per gallon} \times \text{Total gallons} \] \[ \text{Total weight} = 8.3 , \text{lbs/gallon} \times 6.6 \times 10^5 , \text{gallons} \] \[ \text{Total weight} = 8.3 \times 6.6 \times 10^5 , \text{lbs} \] \[ \text{Total weight} \approx 54.78 \times 10^5 , \text{lbs} \] \[ \text{Total weight} \approx 5.478 \times 10^6 , \text{lbs} \]
So, the approximate weight of the water in the pool is about 5.48 million pounds.
