The depth of a pool varies directly with how many gallons of water it will hold.
\n" ); document.write( "d = kg
\n" ); document.write( "------------
\n" ); document.write( "If a 6 foot deep pool holds 10,000 gallons of water
\n" ); document.write( "6 = k*10000
\n" ); document.write( "k = 6/10000
\n" ); document.write( "k = 0.0006
\n" ); document.write( "EQUATION for your problem:
\n" ); document.write( "d = (0.0006)g
\n" ); document.write( "----------------
\n" ); document.write( ", a pool that holds 12,500 gallons of water should be __________inches deep, according to this theory.
\n" ); document.write( "d = (0.0006)(12,500) = 7.5 ft = 90 inches
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------------
