Saya has a swimming pool in the shape of a rectangle. It is 16 1/2 ft. long, 8/14 ft. wide, and 3/12 ft. deep. How much water can the pool hold? Your answer should be a mixed number in simplest form.(1 point)
ft.3
To find the volume of the pool, we need to multiply the length, width, and depth.
Length: 16 1/2 ft = 33/2 ft
Width: 8/14 ft = 4/7 ft
Depth: 3/12 ft = 1/4 ft
Volume = (33/2) * (4/7) * (1/4)
Volume = 33 * 4 * 1 / (2 * 7 * 4)
Volume = 132 / 56
Volume = 33 / 14 ft³
Therefore, the pool can hold 33/14 ft³ of water.
