Question

A child’s wading pool is 3.8 feet wide, 5.5 feet long, and 1.2 feet deep. How many gallons of water will the pool hold? ( Use 1 foot = 7.5 gallons)

Answer 1

First, we find the volume of the pool. 

3.8*5.5*1.2= 25.08.

Then we convert the feet into gallons.
25.08*7.5 = 188.1

The pool will hold 188.1 gallons of water.
