How do you convert 15000000 cubic feet of water into tons?

Answer 1

First, you need to to determine how many gallons are in 15,000,000 cubic feet. Since there are 7.481 gallons in onecubic foot: 15,000,000 x 7.481 = 112,215,000 gallons.

Now that you know how many gallons are in 15 million cubic feet, you multiply gallons by 8.34 (one gallon of water weighs about 8.34 pounds). So,

• 112,215,000 gallons x 8.34 pounds = 935,873,100 pounds and,
  • 935,873,100 pounds divided by 2,000 (1 ton is 2,000 pounds) = 467,936.55 tons.
    • Therefore, 15 million cubic feet of water weighs about 467,936.55 tons
