[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To calculate the volume of the rectangular pool, we need to multiply the length, width, and depth of the pool:

Volume = Length x Width x Depth
Volume = 5 ft x 25 ft x 8 ft
Volume = 1000 cubic feet

Since a cubic foot of water is about 7.48 gallons, we can calculate how many gallons of water would be needed to fill the pool to 100% capacity:

1000 cubic feet x 7.48 gallons/cubic foot = 7480 gallons

To find out how many gallons would be needed to fill the pool to 91% capacity, we multiply the total volume by 0.91:

7480 gallons x 0.91 = 6806.8 gallons

Therefore, approximately 6806.8 gallons of water would be needed to fill the rectangular pool to 91% capacity.
