Answer 1

4.4 cubic feet of water weighs approximately 273.5016 pounds or 0.13676 tons.

Explanation:

To find the weight of 4.4 cubic feet of water in pounds, we need to find the number of gallons it contains and then multiply it by the weight of one gallon of water.

1 cubic foot = 7.48 gallons

So, 4.4 cubic feet = 4.4 * 7.48 = 32.912 gallons

And the weight of 32.912 gallons of water in pounds is:

32.912 gallons * 8.33 pounds/gallon = 273.5016 pounds

To convert this weight to tons, we divide the weight in pounds by 2000:

273.5016 pounds / 2000 = 0.13676 tons

So, 4.4 cubic feet of water weighs approximately 273.5016 pounds or 0.13676 tons.
