the water level in a rectangular swimming pool measuring 60 feet by 10 feet is to be lowered by 6 inches . how many gallons of water must be removed ? ( 1 cu ft = 7.5 gallons )
"6 inches = 1 / 2 feet ( there are 12 inches in a foot . ) , so 60 * 10 * 1 / 2 = 300 feet ^ 3 of water must be removed , which equals to 300 * 7.5 = 2250 gallons . answer : b"
