Question

An Olympic-sized swimming pool can hold approximately 6.60 x 105 gallons of water. Calculate the volume of the water in cubic meters (m3).

Answer 1

The volume of the pool is 1.74*10^8 cubic meters

To solve this problem, we convert the volume of the water from gallons to m^3.

Conversion of Unit

This is done to convert one unit of a substance to another unit of that particular substance. In this question, we are converting from gallon - meter cube

Data;

• v = $6.60*10^5$

• $1 gallon = 264.17m^3$

let's solve for v

$1gallon = 264.17m^3\\ 6.60*10^5 gallon = x$

cross multiply both sides and solve for the volume in cubic meters

$x = 6.60*10^5 * 264.17\\ x = 174352200\\ x = 174.352*10^6m^3 = 1.74*10^8m^3$

The volume of the pool is 1.74*10^8 cubic meters
