There is no property required! 27*4 = 108
(24 x 4) ÷ (27 x 4) = 0.88888 recurring.
In order to find out how many gallons there are in this pool (and for other questions similar to this) you need to say how deep it is. Since a pool is 3-dimensional, you need a third dimension which is height. Then you can find the volume and convert that to gallons. ========================================= Another contributor tried to help: -- If the bottom of the pool is 27-ft by 4-ft and level, then its capacity 807.9 gallons (rounded) for every inch of depth. -- We have no way of knowing how much water is in it. It could be empty and bone dry for all we know.
write the problem: 27x4-48x2y2factor out 4x from both: 4x(27-48y)factor out the 3's: 4x * 3 (9-16y)simplify: 12x(9-16y)if you want, factor out -1 to put y in front: -12x(16y-9)both answers are correct
