They have less chlorine than the safety standards require.

Answer: With the help of Ratio we can compare Park Pool's chlorine to the safety standards.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Safety standards requires a pool to add 3 chlorine tablets to every 2,000 gallons of water.

Number of chlorine tablets = 3

Volume of water = 2000 gallons

So, Ratio will be

[tex]3:2000\\\\=1:\frac{2000}{3}\\\\=1:666.67[/tex]

Now, According to question, the lifeguards at Park Pool added 8 chlorine tablets to their pool's 10000 gallons of water.

So, Number of chlorine tablets = 8

Volume of water = 10000 gallons

So, Ratio will be

[tex]8:10000\\\\1:1250[/tex]

Hence, with the help of Ratio we can compare Park Pool's chlorine to the safety standards.
