Water flows through a pipe at a rate of 88 cubic feet per year. Express this rate of flow in pints per day. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.
14.4!!!!
thx for the answer claire i was really struggling on this
Well, if we want to convert cubic feet to pints, we need to do a little math. See, there are 7.48 gallons in a cubic foot and 8 pints in a gallon. So, to find out how many pints flow through the pipe in a year, we can multiply 88 (cubic feet) by 7.48 (gallons per cubic foot) by 8 (pints per gallon).
Calculating...
88 x 7.48 x 8 = 5257.92 pints
So, the flow rate is approximately 5257.92 pints per year.
Now, to convert this to pints per day, we just need to divide by the number of days in a year. There are 365 days in a year.
Calculating...
5257.92 / 365 = 14.4 pints per day
So, the flow rate is approximately 14.4 pints per day.
But, hey, let's not forget to round to the nearest tenth, as the question asks.
Rounding...
Approximately 14.4 pints per day.
Hope that brings a pint-sized smile to your face!
To convert the rate of flow from cubic feet per year to pints per day, we need to make a few conversions.
First, we know that 1 cubic foot is equivalent to 7.48052 gallons, and 1 gallon is equivalent to 128 fluid ounces (pints).
So, we can start by converting cubic feet to gallons:
88 cubic feet * 7.48052 gallons/cubic foot = 655.69536 gallons
Next, we can convert gallons to pints:
655.69536 gallons * 128 pints/gallon = 84,030.41088 pints
Finally, we need to find the rate per day, so we divide the total number of pints by the number of days in a year:
84,030.41088 pints / 365 days/year = 230.18902 pints/day
Rounding to the nearest tenth, the rate of flow in pints per day is approximately 230.2 pints/day.
