One of the attractions at Typhoon Lagoon, a water park in Florida, is a surf pool. 303,200.0 liters of water are used for each wave in the surf pool & waves are generated every ninety seconds. How many gallons of water are used every thirty minutes in the surf pool?
To solve this problem, we first need to convert the liters of water to gallons.
1 liter is equal to 0.264172 gallons.
So, 303,200.0 liters is equal to 303,200.0 * 0.264172 = 80,022.91 gallons.
Next, we need to find out how many waves are generated in thirty minutes.
There are 60 seconds in a minute, so there are 30 * 60 = 1800 seconds in thirty minutes.
Since waves are generated every ninety seconds, there are 1800 / 90 = 20 waves generated in thirty minutes.
Finally, we can calculate the total gallons of water used in thirty minutes by multiplying the gallons used per wave by the number of waves.
Total gallons of water used in thirty minutes = 80,022.91 gallons/wave * 20 waves = 1,600,458.2 gallons.
Therefore, 1,600,458.2 gallons of water are used every thirty minutes in the surf pool.
To find out how many gallons of water are used in the surf pool every thirty minutes, we need to calculate the number of waves generated in that time period and then convert the liters to gallons.
First, let's find out how many waves are generated in thirty minutes:
30 minutes equals 1800 seconds (since there are 60 seconds in a minute).
Waves are generated every ninety seconds, so we divide the time in seconds by the time between each wave:
1800 seconds / 90 seconds = 20 waves
Now, let's convert the liters of water to gallons:
1 liter is approximately equal to 0.264172 gallons.
Therefore, we can calculate the number of gallons used in each wave:
303,200.0 liters x 0.264172 gallons/liter ≈ 80,070.0384 gallons
Finally, we multiply the number of gallons used in each wave by the number of waves generated in thirty minutes:
80,070.0384 gallons/wave x 20 waves = 1,601,400.768 gallons
Therefore, approximately 1,601,400.768 gallons of water are used every thirty minutes in the Typhoon Lagoon surf pool.
To calculate the number of gallons of water used every thirty minutes in the surf pool, we need to convert liters to gallons and then find out how many waves are generated in thirty minutes.
Step 1: Convert liters to gallons:
1 liter is approximately equal to 0.2642 gallons.
So, 303,200.0 liters of water can be converted to gallons as follows:
303,200.0 liters * 0.2642 gallons/liter = 80,101.44 gallons
Step 2: Calculate the number of waves generated in thirty minutes:
There are 60 seconds in one minute. Therefore, there are:
30 minutes * 60 seconds/minute = 1800 seconds
Waves are generated every ninety seconds, so the number of waves generated in thirty minutes is:
1800 seconds / 90 seconds/wave = 20 waves
Step 3: Calculate the total amount of water used in thirty minutes:
We know that for each wave, 303,200.0 liters of water are used, and there are 20 waves in thirty minutes.
Total water used = Water used per wave * Number of waves
Total water used = 303,200.0 liters/wave * 20 waves = 6,064,000.0 liters
Step 4: Convert liters to gallons for the total water used in thirty minutes:
6,064,000.0 liters * 0.2642 gallons/liter = 1,602,804.8 gallons
Therefore, approximately 1,602,805 gallons of water are used every thirty minutes in the surf pool at Typhoon Lagoon.
