Question

Lake superior is the largest of the great lakes with a volume of 2900 mi3. How many liters of water are contained in lake superior

Answer 1

To calculate the number of liters of water in Lake Superior, convert the volume from cubic miles to cubic meters, and then from cubic meters to liters. The total number of liters of water in Lake Superior is approximately 1.21 x 10^19 liters.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the number of liters of water in Lake Superior, we first need to convert the volume from cubic miles (mi³) to cubic meters (m³), and then from cubic meters to liters.

1. 1 mi³ = 4.16818183 × 10^12 m³ (approximate conversion factor)
2. 1 m³ = 1000 liters (conversion factor)

Using these conversion factors, the calculation would be:

1. Volume of Lake Superior = 2900 mi³
2. Volume in m³ = 2900 mi³ * 4.16818183 × 10^12 m³/mi³
3. Volume in liters = (2900 mi³ * 4.16818183 × 10^12 m³/mi³) * 1000 liters/m³
4. So, the total number of liters of water in Lake Superior is approximately 1.21 x 10^19 liters.

Answer 2

2900000 liters of water are contained in the lake superior.

Explanation

The volume of the lake superior is 2900 m³

For finding the amount of water contained in the lake, we need to convert 2900 m³ into liters.

We know that, 1 m³ = 1000 liters.

So, 2900 m³
`=(2900*1000)liters = 2900000 liters`

Thus, 2900000 liters of water are contained in the lake superior.
