Question

One of the smallest pools on the ship has about 45,000 gallons of water in it.

Answer 1

Amount of water in the pool at the end of the day is 5457798.7 gallons

Explanation:

Given:

Initial amount of water in the pool = 45,000 gallons

Increase in amount = 0.75 in per minute

Time, t = 1 day

t = 24 X 60 min

t = 1440 min

So,

Increase in amount of water in 1 day = 0.75 in X 1440

                                                             = 1080 in

Volume of 1080 in of water = (1080 in)³

Volume from cubic inch to gallon = 5453298.7 gallon

Amount of water in the pool at the end of the day = 45000 + 5453298.7 gallon

                                                                                   = 5457798.7 gallon
