Question

In 1 Kings 7:26, the capacity of the molten sea, a furnishing of the temple, is given as 2000 baths. One bath is about 8.92 gal. How many kiloliters did the molten sea hold? all Cumulative Review 23. Find 20% of $7.95.

Answer 1

67.53 kiloliters.

`20\%\text{ of }\$7.95=\$1.59`

Explanation:

We have been given that the capacity of the molten sea, a furnishing of the temple, is given as 2000 baths.

First of all, we will convert 2000 baths into gallons by multiplying 2000 with 8.92.

`2000\text{ Baths}* \frac{\text{8.92 gallons}}{\text{Bath}}=2000*{\text{8.92 gallons}=17,840{\text{ gallons}`

We know that 1 gallon equals 0.00378541 kiloliters, so we will multiply 17,840 by 0.00378541.

`17,840{\text{ gallons}* \frac{\text{0.00378541 Kiloliters}}{\text{gallon}}`

`17,840* 0.00378541\text{ Kiloliters}`

`67.5317144\text{ Kiloliters}\approx 67.53\text{ Kiloliters}`

Therefore, the Molten sea hold 67.53 kiloliters.

We can find 20% of $7.95 as shown below:

`20\%\text{ of }\$7.95=(20)/(100)*\$7.95`

`20\%\text{ of }\$7.95=0.20*\$7.95`

`20\%\text{ of }\$7.95=\$1.59`

Therefore, 20% of $7.95 would be $1.59.
