Question

One cubic foot holds 7.48 gallons of​ water, and 1 gallon of water weighs 8.33 pounds. How much does 2.2 cubic feet of water weigh in​ pounds?

In​ tons?

Answer 1

0.0680 tons

Explanation:

First, we need to find how many gallons of water 2.2 cubic feet hold:

2.2 cubic feet * 7.48 gallons per cubic foot = 16.456 gallons

Next, we'll find the weight of the water in pounds:

16.456 gallons * 8.33 pounds per gallon = 136.08 pounds

Finally, we'll convert the weight to tons:

136.08 pounds / 2000 pounds per ton = 0.0680 tons

So 2.2 cubic feet of water weigh 136.08 pounds and 0.0680 tons.

Hope it helps! : )

Answer 2

To find the weight of 2.2 cubic feet of water in pounds, we can use the following formula:

Weight in pounds = Volume in cubic feet x Density of water in pounds per cubic foot

The density of water is 62.4 pounds per cubic foot, so we can substitute the values into the formula:

Weight in pounds = 2.2 x 62.4 = 138.08

So, 2.2 cubic feet of water weighs 138.08 pounds.

To convert this weight to tons, we can divide by 2000, as there are 2000 pounds in a ton:

Weight in tons = 138.08 / 2000 = 0.06904 tons

So, 2.2 cubic feet of water weighs 0.06904 tons.
