of water.
​(Round to the nearest whole number as​ needed.)

To convert the volume of the swimming pool from cubic feet to gallons, we can use the given conversion factor:

- 1 cubic foot ≈ 7.48 gallons

Given that the volume of the pool is 41,925 cubic feet, we multiply the volume by the conversion factor:

\[
\text{Gallons of water} = 41,925 \times 7.48
\]

Let's calculate this.The pool holds approximately 313,599 gallons of water.
