Answer:
Find out the how much chlorine is in the pool .
To prove
As given
The amount of chlorine in a swimming pool varies directly with the volume of water.
The pool has 2.5 milligrams of chlorine per liter of water.
i.e
2.5 milligrams of chorine = 1 litre of water
There are 8000 gallons of water in the swimming pool.
As 1 gallons = 3.78541 litre (Approx)
Now convert 8000 gallons of water in litres.
8000 gallons = 8000 × 3.78541 litre
= 30283.28 litres
Now calculate chlorine in the pool for 30283.28 litres of waters.
As
2.5 milligrams of chlorine = 1 litre of water
2.5 × 30283.28 milligrams of chlorine = 30283.28 litre of water
75708.2 milligrams of chlorine for 30283.28 litre of water .
