    Amount of water in the pool at the end of the day is 5457798.7 gallons

    Explanation:

    Given:

    Initial amount of water in the pool = 45,000 gallons

    Increase in amount = 0.75 in per minute

    Time, t = 1 day

    t = 24 X 60 min

    t = 1440 min

    So,

    Increase in amount of water in 1 day = 0.75 in X 1440

    = 1080 in

    Volume of 1080 in of water = (1080 in) ³

    Volume from cubic inch to gallon = 5453298.7 gallon

    Amount of water in the pool at the end of the day = 45000 + 5453298.7 gallon

    = 5457798.7 gallon
