Question

Can someone please help me with this.


If the unit weight of steel is 490 pcf, and the specific gravity of the shale required to build the wall leading to the building is 1.84 … then how many gallons are there in 125 CF? (Round to nearest whole gallon)

Answer 1

Are you certain that you've included ALL info from the original question?
It appears that this question has been phrased to be confusing (not by you, of course): for example, the unit weight of steel has nothing whatsoever to do with the number of gallons in 125 cubic feet.

What is the gallons to cubic foot conversion factor? or, alternatively, the cubic foot to gallons conversion factor?

Answer 2

thats all i got.
i just need to know how many gallons are there in 125 CF.
NTH…I don't know how to convert CF to gallons.

Answer 3

Please do an Internet (Google) search for "gallons to cubic feet conversion." Look for info on many gallons there are in 1 cubic foot.

Answer 4

Or: Google "cubic foot-US gallons conversion"

Answer 5

Ok.
there a 7.48052 Us gallons in a cubic foot, so now I just need to multiply the 7.48052 times 125 CF?

Answer 6

Exactly right. You see, Joseph, I wanted to give you tools (in this case, Internet searches) that will enable you to solve many problems yourself in the future.
Please do multiply:

Answer 7

\[\frac{ 7.48 gal }{ 1 cu. ft.}*\frac{ 125 cu. ft. }{ 1 }\]

Answer 8

thanks so much.
I'm really lost with all this conversion things.

I'd suggest you make up a table of conversion factors. Try an internet search:
