Water Volume and Weight Calculations

The video tutorial explains how to calculate the volume of a rectangular swimming pool, determine the water volume at 95% capacity, convert this volume from cubic feet to gallons, and finally calculate the weight of the water in pounds. It covers the necessary mathematical operations and unit conversions, providing a step-by-step guide to solving these problems.

What is the formula to calculate the volume of a rectangular swimming pool?

• Length + Width + Depth

• Length x Width x Depth

• Width x Depth

• Length x Width

If a pool has a length of 11 feet, a width of 16 feet, and a depth of 5 feet, what is its volume in cubic feet?

• 800 cubic feet

• 880 cubic feet

• 900 cubic feet

• 850 cubic feet

How do you calculate 95% of a given volume?

• Multiply the volume by 0.95

• Divide the volume by 0.95

• Add 0.95 to the volume

• Subtract 0.95 from the volume

What is 95% of 880 cubic feet?

• 836 cubic feet

• 800 cubic feet

• 850 cubic feet

• 900 cubic feet

How many gallons are in one cubic foot of water?

• 6.5 gallons

• 7.48 gallons

• 9.0 gallons

• 8.35 gallons

How many gallons of water are in the pool at 95% capacity?

• 6500 gallons

• 6000 gallons

• 6200 gallons

• 6253.28 gallons

What is the first step in converting cubic feet to gallons?

• Add 7.48 to cubic feet

• Multiply cubic feet by 7.48

• Subtract 7.48 from cubic feet

• Divide cubic feet by 7.48

What is the weight of one gallon of water in pounds?

• 8.0 pounds

• 9.0 pounds

• 7.48 pounds

• 8.35 pounds

How do you convert gallons of water to pounds?

• Add 8.35 to the number of gallons

• Subtract 8.35 from the number of gallons

• Multiply the number of gallons by 8.35

• Divide the number of gallons by 8.35

How many pounds of water are in the pool at 95% capacity?

• 55,000 pounds

• 51,000 pounds

• 52,214.89 pounds

• 50,000 pounds
