Answer 1

To calculate the weight of 2.2 cubic feet of water, first, we need to find the number of gallons of water in 2.2 cubic feet. This can be done by multiplying 2.2 cubic feet by 7.48 gallons/cubic feet:

2.2 cubic feet * 7.48 gallons/cubic foot = 16.53 gallons

Next, we can find the weight of the water in pounds by multiplying the number of gallons by 8.33 pounds/gallon:

16.53 gallons * 8.33 pounds/gallon = 137.53 pounds

So, 2.2 cubic feet of water weighs 137.53 pounds.

To find the weight in tons, we can divide the weight in pounds by 2,000 pounds/ton:

137.53 pounds / 2,000 pounds/ton = 0.0688 tons

So, 2.2 cubic feet of water weighs 0.0688 tons
