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 94% capacity?
the volme of the box is 945

Answer 1

To find out how many gallons of water are needed to fill the rectangular pool to 94% capacity, we can follow these steps:

1. Calculate 94% of the volume of the pool (in cubic feet).
2. Convert that volume from cubic feet to gallons.

Given:
- Volume of the box (pool) = 945 cubic feet
- 1 cubic foot of water = 7.48 gallons

### Step 1: Calculate 94% of the volume

\[
\text{Volume at 94%} = 945 \, \text{cubic feet} \times 0.94 = 887.10 \, \text{cubic feet}
\]

### Step 2: Convert cubic feet to gallons

\[
\text{Gallons needed} = 887.10 \, \text{cubic feet} \times 7.48 \, \text{gallons/cubic foot}
\]

Now, calculating the gallons:

\[
\text{Gallons needed} = 887.10 \times 7.48 \approx 6632.05 \, \text{gallons}
\]

Thus, approximately **6632 gallons** of water would be needed to fill the rectangular pool to 94% capacity.
