A cubic foot of water is about 7.48 gallons. How many gallons of water would be needed to fill the rectangular pool with a volume of 2016 to 87% capacity?
The first step is to calculate the total volume of the rectangular pool. Knowing that 1 cubic foot of water is about 7.48 gallons, we can convert the volume of the pool from cubic feet to gallons:
2016 cubic feet x 7.48 gallons/cubic foot = 15,052.8 gallons
Next, we find 87% of the total volume to see how much water is needed to fill the pool to 87% capacity:
0.87 x 15,052.8 gallons = 13,085.736 gallons
Therefore, approximately 13,085.736 gallons of water would be needed to fill the rectangular pool to 87% capacity.
wrong
I apologize for the mistake. Let's try again:
Given that 1 cubic foot of water is about 7.48 gallons, we can find the total volume of the pool by multiplying the volume in cubic feet by 7.48:
Volume of the pool = 2016 cubic feet x 7.48 gallons/cubic foot = 15,076.48 gallons
To find 87% of this volume, we multiply the total volume by 0.87:
87% of volume = 15,076.48 gallons x 0.87 = 13,118.9376 gallons
Therefore, approximately 13,118.94 gallons of water would be needed to fill the rectangular pool to 87% capacity. Thank you for your patience.
