To determine how many gallons of water are needed to fill a rectangular pool to 91% capacity, you will need to know the volume of the pool in cubic feet.
Once you have the pool's volume in cubic feet, you can calculate the gallons of water needed using the following steps:
1. **Calculate Volume at 91% Capacity**:
\[
\text{Volume at 91% capacity} = \text{Total volume of the pool} \times 0.91
\]
2. **Convert Cubic Feet to Gallons**:
Since 1 cubic foot of water is approximately 7.48 gallons, you can convert the volume in cubic feet to gallons by the following formula:
\[
\text{Gallons needed} = \text{Volume in cubic feet} \times 7.48
\]
3. **Putting it Together**:
\[
\text{Gallons needed at 91%} = \text{Total volume of the pool} \times 0.91 \times 7.48
\]
If you provide the total volume of the pool in cubic feet, I can assist you with the calculations further.
