Question

You take 4.5 cubic feet or liters of gas in a flexible container from 110'/33.3m fresh water to 81'/24.5m. What will the new volume be?

1) 3.4
2) 4.7
3) 5.5
4) 6.2

Answer 1

The new volume of gas in the flexible container will be approximately 5.5 cubic feet or liters.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the new volume of gas in the flexible container, we need to calculate the change in volume from 110'/33.3m to 81'/24.5m.

First, we can convert the given values from feet to meters by multiplying 110 by 0.3048 and 81 by 0.3048. This gives us 33.528m and 24.6888m respectively.

Next, we can use the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism: Volume = length x width x height. Assuming the flexible container is rectangular, we can use the original volume of 4.5 cubic feet or liters as the length and width, and the difference in height (33.528 - 24.6888) as the height.

So, the new volume of gas in the flexible container will be approximately 5.5 cubic feet or liters.
