A cube shaped pool is half full of water. If the water is 36 inches deep, how much would the
water in the pool weigh if the pool were filled to the brim? (1 cubic foot weighs 56 pounds)
Correct answer: B
Explanation
36 ÷ 3 = 3 ft.
2 x 3 = 6 ft. to brim, so cube is 6 ft. on a side
6 x 6 x 6 = 216 cu. ft. volume
216 x 56 = 12,096 pounds of water
correct answer B
