Archie builds a pool in his backyard. The pool measures 16 yards long, 6 yards wide and 2 yards deep. How many gallons of water will it take to fill the pool to the brim? (1 cubic yard = 202 gallons).

gallons of water = 38784 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

He builds a pool in his backyard. The pool measures 16 yards long, 6 yards wide and 2 yards deep. The pool is a rectangular prism. The number of gallons it can take to fill the pool can be calculated when we know the volume of the pool. Therefore,

volume of the pool = length * width * height

volume = lwh

l = 16 yards

w = 6 yards

h = 2 yards

volume = 16 * 6 * 2

volume = 192 yards³

1 cubic yards = 202 gallons

192 cubic yards = ? gallons

cross multiply

gallons of water = 192 * 202

gallons of water = 38784 gallons
