Question 1152480: A pool measuring 80 ft long × 40 ft wide × 16 ft high is half filled with jello for a charity event. A second pool that measures 50 ft long × 16 ft wide × 12 ft high is completely filled with jello. All the jello in the second pool is pumped into the first pool. What is the height of the jello in the first pool now?
You can put this solution on YOUR website! volume of first pool is the product of the 3 or 51,200 ft^3. Half full is at 25600 ft^3
volume of second pool is 9600 ft^3
That added to first pool is 35200 ft^3.
The length and width are still 80 and 40 and their product is 3200
the height is then 35200/3200=11 feet high.
