What is the volume in gallons of a rectangle 118" by 60" by 6"
Since the measures are in feet and inches, I assume you're working with US gallons.
1 cubic foot = 7.48051948 US gallons (approx.)
Volume of container
= (118/12)*(60/12)*(6/12)
= 24.583 cubic ft
= 24.583*7.48051948 US gallons
= 183.9 US gallons (approx.)
To find the volume in gallons of a rectangular shape, we need to multiply its length, width, and height together and convert the resulting volume to gallons.
1. Start by multiplying the three dimensions together: length x width x height
- In this case, the dimensions are 118" x 60" x 6".
2. Perform the multiplication: 118 x 60 x 6 = 424,080 cubic inches.
- The resulting volume is in cubic inches.
3. Convert cubic inches to gallons:
- There are 231 cubic inches in 1 gallon.
- Divide the volume in cubic inches (424,080) by the conversion factor (231):
424,080 / 231 ≈ 1,835.65 gallons.
Therefore, the volume of the rectangle is approximately 1,835.65 gallons.
