Question

A waterbed filled with water has the dimensions 8.5ft by 7.5ft by 9.5inches. Taking the density of water to be 1.00 g/cubic centimeter, determine the number of pounds of water required to fill the water bed.

Answer 1

first convert all the dimensions to cm

1 foot = 12 inches
1 inch = 2.54 cm

then, calculate the volume of the waterbed

then use the density to convert from volume to mass

then, convert from grams to pounds (1 lb = 453.592 g)
