a fish tank holds 35 gallons of water. how many pounds of water are in the fish tank?
To calculate the weight of water in the fish tank, you need to know the weight per gallon of water. The weight of water is approximately 8.34 pounds per gallon.
To find the weight of water in the fish tank, multiply the number of gallons (35 gallons) by the weight per gallon (8.34 pounds/gallon).
Weight of water = 35 gallons * 8.34 pounds/gallon
Calculating this equation:
Weight of water = 292.9 pounds
Therefore, there are approximately 292.9 pounds of water in the fish tank.
look up pounds/gallon for water. google should help if you don't have such information handy in your text.
Then just convert gallons to pounds:
volume(gal) * density(lbs/gal) = weight(lbs)
