Answer:
the cost of filling the pool is $386.3
Step-by-step explanation:
Given;
dimension of the rectangular pool, = 25 yd by 30 yd by 5.1 ft
covert the given dimensions to feet;
1 yd = 3 ft
25 yd = 25 x 3 ft = 75 ft
30 yd = 30 x 3 ft = 90 ft
The volume of the rectangular pool in cubic feet (ft³);
Volume = 75 ft x 90 ft x 5.1 ft
Volume = 34,425 ft³
Convert the volume to gallons;
1 ft³ = 7.481 gallons
10,125 ft³ = 34,425 x 7.481 gallons
= 257,533.425 gallons
The cost per a 1000 gallons is $1.50, then cost of the 257,533.425 gallons is calculated as;
[tex]cost = \frac{\$ 1.50}{1000 \ gallons} \times 257,533.425 \ gallons = \$ 386.3[/tex]
Therefore, the cost of filling the pool is $386.3
