Question

There are 7.48 gallons in a cubic foot. If residents of the apartment building are using the water from the tower at an average rate of 56 gallons per minute, determine how long it will take to drain the entire tower.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

So, volume is always cubed since you have l x w x h.

A cubic ft is 12 in x 12 in x 12 in = 1728 in3. If we assumed that the aquarium has a volume of around 35328.78 in squared. Hence,

35328.78/1728 = 20.44

20.44 x 7.48 = 152.89

About 153 gallons

Noted that the water was used at the rate of 56 gallons per minute.

56 gallons -------- 1 minute

153 gallons --------- x minute (s)

56gallon × Xminutes = 153 gallons × 1 minute

X = 153/56

X = 2.7321 minutes

Hence, it will take 2.7321 minutes to drain the tower
