Question

how many gallons of water did a truck fill up if it's weight before the fill up was 3547 lbs and afterwards was 4924 lbs?

Answer 1

Answer: depending on the method, 138-139 (imperial) gallons, or 626 L

Step-by-step explanation:

The wt of water is 4924-3547 lb = 1377 lb = 1377/2.2 kg = 626 kg = 626 L

1gallon = 4.5 L (it does where I come from and who still measures things in imperial anyway?) so I guess that is 139 gallons

or alternatively, I recall from distant childhood, “a pint of water weighs a pound and a quarter” which means 1 gallon = 10 lb, so 1377 lb = ~138 gallons
