Answer:
382.3 liters
Step-by-step explanation:
We are told in the question that:
A container that is 4.50 ft. by 7.20 ft. that is filled with water 5.00 inches deep.
This means:
Length = 4.50 ft
Width = 7.20 ft
Depth(Height) = 5.00 inches
We have to convert all of these to centimeters first. Then to liters
1 foot = 30.48 centimetres
1 inch = 2.54 centimetres
Length = 4.50 ft
1 foot = 30.48 centimetres
4.5 ft = 4.5 × 30.48
= 137.16 cm
Width = 7.20 ft
1 foot = 30.48 centimetres
7.20 ft = 7.20 × 30.48 cm
= 219.456cm
Depth(Height) = 5.00 inches
1 inch = 2.54 centimetres
5 inches = x cm
Cross Multiply
= 5 × 2.54 cm
= 12.7 cm
The volume of the water(cm³) = Length × Width × Depth
= (137.16 × 219.456 × 12.7)cm³
382277.428992 cm³
The volume of water in liters
1 cubic centimetre = 0.001 litre
382277.428992 cm³ = x
Cross Multiply
382277.428992 cm³ × 0.001 litre
= 382.2774289920001 liters
Approximately = 382.3 liters
