Answer:

1.1 gallons

Explanation:

Given that the shape of the gutter is in the form of a rectangular prism with length 14 feet, width 2 inches and of height 9 inches.

The volume of the gutter = length x width x height

= 14 x 2 x 9

= 252

The volume of the gutter = 252 cubic inches

But with the given fact, we divide the volume determined by 231 inches.

Then,

the required volume in gallons =
(252)/(231)

= 1.090908

The gutter can hold water of 1.1 gallons.
