need help with the following conversion
Calculate the mass in pounds of one gallon of water given that the density of water is .0 g/ml
sorry density of water is 1.0 g/ml
To calculate the mass in pounds of one gallon of water, we need to follow these steps:
Step 1: Convert the density of water from grams per milliliter (g/ml) to pounds per gallon (lb/gal).
- There are approximately 0.03527396 ounces in one gram.
- There are 16 ounces in one pound.
- There are 128 fluid ounces in one gallon.
So, to convert from g/ml to lb/gal, we need to perform the following conversions:
- Multiply the density of water (0.0 g/ml) by 0.03527396 to convert to ounces per milliliter.
- Multiply the result by 16 to convert to ounces per gallon.
- Divide the result by 128 to convert to pounds per gallon.
Step 2: Calculate the mass of one gallon of water.
- As we have converted the density to pounds per gallon, the result will give us the mass of one gallon of water in pounds.
Let's perform the calculations:
