Question

5. One of the attractions at Typhoon Lagoon, a water park in Florida, is a surf

pool. 303,200.0 liters of water are used for each wave in the surf pool and

waves are generated every 90 seconds. How many gallons of water are used

every 30 minutes in the surf pool.?

Answer 1

Answer:

1595790 gallons

Explanation:

Given that;

3.8 L = 1 US gallon

303,200.0 liters = 303,200.0 * 1/ 3.8 = 79789.5 gallons

If a wave is made every 90 seconds which is 1.5 mins

Then;

Number of waves made in 30 minutes = 30/1.5 = 20 waves

if each uses 79789.5 gallons, then 20 waves will use 20 * 79789.5 gallons = 1595790 gallons
