QuestionThe swimming pool at the local rec center needs to be filled. It takes 365,000 L to fill the pool. How many megaliters doesit take to fill the pool? Do not include units in your answer. Do not round your answer.

Respuesta :

If It takes 365,000 L to fill the pool, the megalite to fill the pool:

mega = 10^6

[tex]\begin{gathered} 1000000\text{ litre = 1 megalitre} \\ \text{mega means 10}^6 \\ 365000\text{ litres = x} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore conversion from litre to megalitre:

[tex]\begin{gathered} 1000000\text{ litre = 1 megalitre} \\ 365000\text{ litres = x} \\ x=\frac{365000\text{litres x 1 megalitre}}{1000000\text{ litres}} \\ x=0.365 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Hence the megalitre to fill the swimming pool is 0.365
