A person owns a 146.8 acre farm which received a total of 1.64 inches of rain. How many liters of rain would that be? An acre is 43560 square feet; there are 2.54 cm in one 1 inch.
1.64 inches equal .13666666 feet
yea but it asking for liters
59531.99999 ft cubed is equal to 1685759 liters
in the problem though wouldnt the acres equal 6394608 cubic feets
no...bc there is no depth with in an acre, only area, there is no volume, onceyou had the rain, an inch everyhwere, you now have depth
well than can you plz help me answer this question because it involves the same principle from the previous question
A person owns a 170.3 acre farm which received a total of 2.70 inches of rain. How many liters of rain would that be? An acre is 43560 square feet; there are 2.54 cm in one 1 inch.
7418268 ft^2 x .225 ft of rain = 1669110 ft^3 = 47263930 Liters
1 acre = 43560 ft^2.
1.64 inches = 1.64/12 = feet.
1728 cubic inches = 1 cubic foot
231 cubic inches = 1 gallon
3.78 liters = 1 gallon
146.8 acres x (43560 ft^2/acre) x (1.64/12) x (1,728 in^3/ft^3) x (1 gallon/231 ft^3) x (3.78 liters/gallon) = ??
Check my thinking. Check my work.
To find the total amount of rain received in liters, we'll need to convert acres to square feet and inches to centimeters. Then we can calculate the volume of rain in liters.
Step 1: Convert acres to square feet
Since one acre is equal to 43560 square feet, we can multiply the number of acres by 43560 to get the total number of square feet in the farm.
146.8 acres x 43560 square feet/acre = 6,396,528 square feet
Step 2: Convert inches to centimeters
We know that there are 2.54 centimeters in one inch, so we can multiply the number of inches by 2.54 to convert them to centimeters.
1.64 inches x 2.54 centimeters/inch = 4.1656 centimeters
Step 3: Calculate the volume of rain in liters
To calculate the volume of rain, we'll multiply the area (in square feet) by the height (in centimeters) and then convert it to liters.
Volume (in cubic centimeters) = Area x Height
Volume (in cubic centimeters) = 6,396,528 square feet x 4.1656 centimeters = 26,661,497.9568 cubic centimeters
Now, we'll convert cubic centimeters to liters. Since there are 1000 cubic centimeters in one liter, we divide the volume in cubic centimeters by 1000.
Volume (in liters) = 26,661,497.9568 cubic centimeters / 1000 = 26,661.4979568 liters
Therefore, the farm received approximately 26,661.5 liters of rain.
