SEE ANSWER

Half full = 16,000 liters

Need to add 14,000 more liters

Step-by-step explanation:

Proportions and Fractions

The swimming pool contains 2,000 liters of water and it's said to be 1/16 full. this means that the total capacity of the pool is:

2,000 liters * 16 = 32,000 liters

It's required to calculate how many liters of water are required to make the pool half full.

This can be found by dividing the above number by 2, thus:

Half capacity of the pool = 32,000 / 2 = 16,000 liters

We'll provide the following answer in case it's required.

To reach half capacity, it would be necessary to add

16,000 liters - 2,000 liters = 14,000 liters of water to the existing amount.
