The amount of chlorine in a swimming pool is proportional to the volume of water. The pool has 2.5 milligrams of chlorine per liter of water. There are 8000 gallons of water in the swimming pool. How much chlorine is in the pool? Round to the nearest thousand milligrams.

There are 20,000 milligrams chlorine in the pool.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The chlorine per liter of water in the pool is 2.5 milligrams.

The  volume of water in the swimming pool is 8000 gallons.

Now, to find the quantity of chlorine in the pool.

Let the quantity of chlorine be

The gallons of water in the swimming pool = 8000.

The milligrams of chlorine per liter of water in the pool = 2.5.

According to question, the amount of chlorine in the swimming pool is proportional to the volume of water.

So, 2.5 mg of chlorine is equivalent to 1 liter.

Thus, is equivalent to

Now, to get the quantity of chlorine by using cross multiplication method:

By cross multiplying we get:

Therefore, there are 20,000 milligram chlorine in the pool.

let's cover over the formula of the vertex:

y = a(x – h)^2 + k

in this formula, (h,k) are the vertex, always remember that the positive or negative value of the vertex is based on the sign it has.

for example, if the vertex is -3,-6 then both the x and y value would have the positive sign attached to it and if it were a positive x and y value, then a negative sign would be attached to it.

with that being said, for our problem the x value is a positive one so we are looking for a number with a negative sign next to it, in this case the first and second choice.

however, for the first answer choice it isn't quite part of the formula so we know that the answer choice correctly displays the x value.

to confirm, we can see if the -1 fits correctly with the second answer choice, and as mentioned above a negative number will have a positive sign attached to it. so, for our problem we can see that -1 has been changed to +1, so we can confirm that the second answer choice is correct.

hence, our final answer is y=(x - 1)^2 + 1

the answer is 13/48
