How many gallons of water are in a pool 6 x 5 feet and 4 feet deep?

Answer 1

Isn't the answer obvious? Of course not, because your government insists on using imperial units instead of metric units. How about this: Your expensive truck going 65 mph is 183 inches high. The bridge ahead is 13' 6". Will you fit under the bridge? Consider the metric alternative: Your truck is 322 cm high. The bridge ahead is 3.45 m. Will you fit? By NOT going metric the unwashed masses cannot do trivial conversions. Get my point? Signed,

Michael Metric To solve your problem convert your cubic feet to cubic cm, then convert cm to gallons. 4*5*6 ft^3 = 120 ft^3 1 ft = 12 * 2.54 cm = 30.48 cm 120 ft^3 = 120 * (30.48 cm) ^3 = 3,398,022 cc 1 qt = 946 cc 3,398,022 cc * (1 qt / 946 cc) = 3592 qt 1 gal = 4 qt 3592 qt * (1 gal / 4 qt) = 898 gal More or less. ;-)
