A swimming pool is 50 meters long, 25 meters wide, and 3 meters deep. A liter is the same as 0.001 cubic meter. How many liters of water are needed to fill the pool?
First lets solve for the volume of the swimming pool. The formula for volume of a rectangular prism is:
V=lwh
How lets plug in our known values...
V=50253=3750m³
1liter=0.001m³
1000liters=1m³
1000liters x liters
________=________
1 m³ 3750m³
Cross Multiply
1x=3,750,000 liters
Answer=3,750,000 liters
