Question

A swimming pool can hold 6000 litres of water. How much water is there in it when it is $\frac{1}{2}$ full?

• A. 2400 litres
• B. 3000 litres
• C. 3200 litres
• D. 4000 litres

Answer 1

The correct option is B 3000 litres

Total volume of swimming pool = 6000 L

Volume of pool when it is $\frac{1}{2}$ full
= $\frac{1}{2}\times 6000$ L
= 6000 L $÷$ 2
= 3000 L
