Falling at the rate of 2.5 m/s for 45 seconds, the anchor fell
(2.5 m/s) x (45 s) = 112.5 meters .
If it wound up only 40 meters underwater, then it must have fallen
(112.5 m - 40 m) = 72.5 meters
from its storage position on the big cruise ship,
before it ever reached the water.
Since it was falling at the rate of 2.5 m/s, it took
(72.5 m) / (2.5 m/s) = 29 seconds
to get down to the water surface after it started dropping.

All it's asking is: How many cubic inches are there in 22 gallons ? And it already GAVE us the conversion factor !
The conversion factor is . . . . . 1 gallon = 231 cubic inches
Multiply each side by 22: 22 gallons = 22 x (231 cubic inches)
22 x 231 = 5,082
22 gallons = 5,082 cubic inches
If you empty a full 22-gallon tank out through that flow meter, the meter will register 5,082 cubic inches when the tank is empty.
My answer was deleted but ill post it again. it is a line plotted at the point (-2,-0.5) and the slope is down 1, right twice. this is a negative line.
