Answer:

V = 493421.05 [gal]

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a problem that consists of handling units, we can calculate by first-hand the volume, then convert units from cubic meters to gallons.

V = 50 * 25 * 1.5

V = 1875 [m^3]

Now we need to convert units, using the proper conversion factor.


1875[m^3]*(1000lt)/(1m^3) *(1gal)/(3.8lt) \\493421.05[gal]
