A gallon of water occupies 231 cubic inches of space, as there are 231 cubic inches in a gallon. To find the area it fills in inches, we need to divide this volume by the height at which the water is spread. If we assume the water is spread evenly at a height of 1 inch, the area covered by a gallon of water would be 231 square inches.

In a ratio of 4 ounces of pesticide to 1 gallon of water how much pesticide is needed to fill a 30 gallon tank?

To fill the 30-gallon tank, you would need to use the pesticide and water in a ratio of 4 ounces to 1 gallon. Therefore, you would need 120 ounces (30 gallons x 4 ounces) of pesticide to fill the 30-gallon tank.


How do you measure 1 gallon of plums?

Find a container with gallon gradients (lines) at 1 gallon and 2 gallons. Fill the container with one gallon of water. Now add the plums until the water level reaches the two gallon line. Remove the water, and you now have 1 gallon of plums.


How do you get 4 gallons with a 3 gallon can and a 5 gallon can?

Fill the 5 gallon can Empty it into the 3 gallon can....you now have 2 gallons left in the 5 gallon can Empty the 3 gallon can Pour the 2 gallons from the 5 gallon can into the 3 gallon can. Fill the 5 gallon can Pour water from the 5 gallon can into the 3 gallon can until it is full....that will take a further gallon. You now have 4 gallons left in the 5 gallon can. Empty 1 of the 5 gallons. (But how do you know when you have emptied 1 gal???) You fill the 3 gal can and then tip it into the 5 gal can. The fill the 3 gal can again and tip some into the 5 gal can until the 5 gal can is full, you should now have 1 gal in the 3 gal can. Now empty the 5 gal can and put the 1 gal (from the 3 gal can) into the 5 gal can. Fill the 3 gal can again and add that to the 1 gal that is in the 5 gal can. You now have 4 gals in the 5 gal can!


How many gallons of water is needed to fill a 4 inch by 12 inch tube?

You didn't provide enough information to fully answer this question. Volume requires 3 dimensions, and you provided 2 (or didn't fully explain the 3rd). To determine volume, you need length, width and height LxWxH=Volume. I'll explain how to solve this math problem the best way I can. 1 gallon = 231 cubic inches http://www.onlineconversion.com/volume.htm Now that you know there are 231 cubic inches per gallon, determine the volume of water you need in inches. I'm going to guess you were meaning the tube is 12 inches long and either a 4 inch diameter. Volume of a cylinder can be acheived by multipling the area of the base times height. Assuming your cylinder is a perfect circle with an inside diameter of 4 inches, the base would be PI * r2 or 3.141592 * (2*2) or 12.535668 inches square. Multiply this times the height (12), and you'll get the cubic inches required to fill the cylinder...or 150.796416 cubic inches. Divide by 231 (cubic inches per gallon) equalling .6528 US gallons required to fill the tube.


How many gallons of water is needed to fill a tub that is 60 inches long 32 inches wide and 20 inches high?

To calculate the volume of the tub in cubic inches, multiply the three dimensions (60 x 32 x 20). Then convert the volume to gallons by dividing by 231 (there are 231 cubic inches in a gallon). So, the tub would need approximately (60 x 32 x 20) / 231 gallons of water to fill up.

If you have a 3 gallon jug and a 5 gallon jug you need to measure out exactly 4 gallons of water?

1. fill 3 gallon 2. pour that into 5 gallon 3. fill 3 gallon 4. from 3 gallon pour enough (2 gallon) to fill 5 gallon then empty 5 gallon 5. there will then be 1 gallon (3 - 2 = 1) in 3 gallon which is poured into 5 gallon 6. fill 3 gallon and pour it into 5 gallon, making result of 1 + 3 = 4 gallon in 5 gallon jug.


If you have a five gallon jug and a seven gallon jug no marks on either one The goal is to fill the five gallon jug with four gallons of water How is this accomplished?

you fill the 7 gallon jug and then place the water into the 5 gallon jug. You will end up with 2 gallons because you subtracted 5 gallons, place that water somewhere else and repeat the process.

You have a 3 gallon pail and a 7 gallon pail how could you use these pails to put exactly 8 gallons of water in an aquarium?

Easy. Fill the 7gal pail to the full mark (7 Gallons) with water. Then pour, from the 7 gallon pail, water into each of the 3 gallon pail up to the full mark. The remaining water left in the 7 gallon is 1 gallon. Pour this gallon into the aquarium. Fill the 7 gallon pail with water, again to the full mark, and then add to the aquarium. 1 Gallon + 7 Gallons = 8 Gallons.
