If one liqid gallon is 231 cubic inches, how many gallons of juice would fit in a container that is 2 ft. by one foot by 1 foot.
2 ft^3 = 2 * 12 * 12 * 12 in^3
24 * 144 / 231
24 * 12 * 12 = 3,456 cubic inches
3,456 / 231 = ____ gallons
To find out how many gallons of juice can fit in a container, we first need to calculate the volume of the container in cubic inches. Then, we can convert that volume from cubic inches to gallons using the given conversion ratio of 1 liquid gallon equals 231 cubic inches.
First, let's calculate the volume of the container in cubic inches. We have a container that is 2 ft. (24 inches) long, 1 ft. (12 inches) wide, and 1 ft. (12 inches) tall. To find the volume, we multiply these three dimensions together:
Volume (in cubic inches) = Length x Width x Height
Volume = 24 inches x 12 inches x 12 inches
Volume = 3,456 cubic inches
Now, let's convert this volume from cubic inches to gallons using the conversion ratio:
Number of gallons = Volume (in cubic inches) / Conversion ratio
Number of gallons = 3,456 cubic inches / 231 cubic inches/gallon
Number of gallons = 15 gallons (rounded to the nearest gallon)
Therefore, a container that is 2 ft. by 1 ft. by 1 ft. could hold approximately 15 gallons of juice.
