A gallon of water weight 8,3 kg. A cubic foot of water weight about 62 Kg. How many gallons of water would fill a cubic foot container ?
My answer is 62/8,3 = 7,46 gallons.
Is it right ?? Please, help my son.
A cubic foot of water weighs 62.4 pounds. An imperial gallon of water weighs 10 pounds. You used kg all over, so it is not clear whether there is one or more typos in the question. You will need to check the question and make appropriate corrections before your answer can be checked.
you are correct
62kg/ft^3 / 8.3kg/gal = 7.46gal/ft^3
Yes, your answer is correct! To find out how many gallons of water would fill a cubic foot container, you need to divide the weight of a cubic foot of water (62 kg) by the weight of a gallon of water (8.3 kg).
Therefore, the calculation would be:
62 kg รท 8.3 kg = 7.46 gallons
So, approximately 7.46 gallons of water would fill a cubic foot container.
