I'm having trouble setting this up.

Question

1.) Winnipeg is refilling the pool. How many gallons of water will it take if the pool is 50m by 25m by 1.5m? (1 gallon=3.786 L) (1m3=1000L)

Answer 1

The dimensions of the pool are 50 m * 25 m * 1.5 m = 1875 m³

 

Convert this to gallons based on the conversion factors given:

 

                    1000 L           gal

1875 m³  *  ---------  *  ------------

                      m³            3.786  L

 

The units end up as gallons, and the result is 495245.64 gallons
