Answer:

[tex]25.92\ m^{3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x------> the volume of the small swimming pool

y------> the volume of the large swimming pool

z-----> the scale factor

we know that

The volume of the small swimming pool is equal to the scale factor elevated to the cube multiplied by the volume of the large swimming pool

so

[tex]x=z^{3}y[/tex]

In this problem we have

[tex]z=0.12, y=15,000\ m^{3}[/tex]

substitute

[tex]x=0.12^{3}(15,000)=25.92\ m^{3}[/tex]

Answer:

it is actually D.
