A cylindrical swimming pool has a diameter of 16 feet and a height of 3 feet. How many gallons of water can the pool contain? Around your answer to the nearest tenth. (1 ft3 = 7.5 gal)

The pool can contain 4521.6 gallons of water.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The diameter of the cylindrical swimming pool = 16 feet.

And the height of the cylindrical swimming pool = 3 feet.

(1 ft³ = 7.5 gallons)

Now, to find the gallons of water the pool can contain.

So, we find the radius first:

Radius (r) = =

Height (h) = 3 feet.

Now, to get the volume of swimming pool which is cylindrical in shape by putting formula (using the value of π = 3.14):

Thus, getting the volume of pool 602.88 feet³.

As, given 1 ft³ = 7.5 gallons.

Now, to get the gallons of water the pool can contain we multiply the volume of pool by 7.5:

Therefore, the pool can contain 4521.6 gallons of water.

let x be the money she spent so that she can earn the free t-shirt.

since, she already spent $112.49

⇒

also, as per the statement: jennifer must spend $250 or more in order to qualify for a free t-shirt at the store.

then,

we have an inequality i.,e

subtract 112.49 from both sides we get;

therefore, $137. 51 more money does jennifer need to spend so that she can earn the free t-shirt
