how can i figure out how many gallons of water will it take to fill a certain container?

With the dimentions of the container, calculate its volume. One cubic foot = 7.48 gallons.

The rate at which they will work:\nX/30 + X /45- X/90, where X is equal to the tank volume per minute.\n(3+2-1)X/90= 4 X /90. That is the combined capacity= X/22.5.\nTherefore it will take 22 and half minutes to fill up the tank.

A. Amount of Z in tank  = 4 lb\n\nB. After 10 minutes amount of Z = 4 lb\n\nC  Amount of water in tank at time t = (10 + 2t) gallons\n\nSo at time t, concentration of Z in tank = 4/(10 + 2t)\n= 2/(5 + t) lb/gallon\nSo 0.1 = 2/(5 + t) ie 5 + t = 20, t = 15 minutes

since water seeks its own level, just connect a tube at the bottom of two 5 empty gal jugs so that water can flow in one another then plug the tube opening with cotton . fill one with 5gal of water and the other with 3gal of water.Now remove the plugs GRAVITY will do the rest dividing the two volume of water into   two eqaul 4gal jug of water . No water is wasted.

Do you mean gallons to inches.  You just said it was 150 gallon drum, so you know how many gallons it is.  To find the volume in inches, find the area of the base (radius squared multiplied by Pi,3.14) and multiply by height.  231 cubic inches are in one gallon.  You will know the volume in cubic inches.  I hope this helps.

You make a container 16 cm by 3 cm (and 1 cm thick) and pour water inside. The weight of the water in gm is your answer.\n\nAnother method is to use Napier's Bones. Just sliding and matching the numbers.

Get the dimensions of the rectangular tank into the same units, then get the volume. the unit could be in^3, cm^3, m^3, ft^3, mi^3, mm^3, km^3, etc. Have them be converted to cm^3 using the ff. conversion units:\n\n1 mi = 5280 ft\n1 ft = 12 in\n1 in = 2.54 cm\n1 m = 10 dm = 100 cm = 1000mm = .1 dam = .01 hm = .001 km\n\nNow, 1 cm^3 = 1 mL. Have it converted into liters using 1000 mL = 1 L. To get gallons, use the ff. conversion unit:\n3.8 L = 1 gal\n\nHope this helps ^_^

1 ft^3 = 7.48 gallons.  You will therefore need a box with an internal volume of 2.139 ft^3 (or 3696.257 cubic inches).\n\n12" x 14" x 22" will work.  OR 12" x 12" x 25.67"  OR ....

just measure how much water they lose to the atmosophere some how and keep track of the amount of water you have added over a period of time. \nThis should be an interseting experiment.

You all thought way too hard on this one. There is no way to know who has more because the asker did not tell what size the containers were. \nWhoever had the biggest container had more because the numbers he gave are more than 1, you can not fill a container 1 and 2/3 of the way, nor can you fill one 7/4 of the way. Once they get to the top, they are full at 1 each. For example, if you try to pour 1 and 3/4 gallons (which is 7/4) into a one gallon container, you will only have one gallon in the container.\nIf both containers were the same size they both have the same amount.

Volume of Earth's Oceans = 3.28*10^8 mi^3\n\nconvert cubic miles to gallons:\n1 mi^3 = 5280^3 ft^3\n1 ft^3 = 7.48 US liquid gallons\n\nSo, volume = 3.28*10^8 * 5280^3 * 7.48 = 3.61*10^20\n\nAssume bucket size is 5 gallons (divide answer by 5):\n\n7.22*10^19 buckets are needed to fill all of Earth's oceans.\n\nThat's 72,200,000,000,000,000,000 5-gallon buckets, or 72.2 quintillion.

Well first lets get the weights figured out,\n\n9% soloution,\n\nweight= (9.57 lbs/ gallon) * 6 gallons\n      = 57.42 lbs\n\n0.5% soloution,\n\nweight = (8.34 lbs/gallon) * 60 gallons\n       =500.4 lbs\n\nTotal weight = 500.4 lbs + 57.42 lbs\n             = 557.42 lbs\n\n\nnow 9% of 57.42 lbs= 5.1678 lbs\n    0.5% of 500.4 lbs= 2.502 lbs\n           Total = 2.502 +5.1678\n                 = 7.6698 lbs\n\nso to get the percentage,\n\n7.6698 lbs / 557.42 lbs\n=0.01376\n=1.376% (approximatley)\n\nSo the conecntration is approx 1.4%\n\nhope that helps

One foot is equal to 12 inches so you could assume that the tank is also equal to (10 x 12) by (35 x 12) or 120" by 420". Then you take your number of gallons and divide by 120 x 420 or 50400 (I'm assuming you meant gallons per inch)

So a cool trick to solve problems like these is to cancel units. You want to find out how many gallons it will take during you 800 mile trip so 800miles/13(miles/gallon) = gallons needed during the trip (61). the miles from each term canceled each other leaving only gallons. so it will take ~61 gallons at a cost of 3dollars/gallons=183dollars. Again you can see that the gallons units cancellec. If you can't see it they divided each other out. It is really helpful for these kind of things when you want to make sure your getting tht right awnser. At 20mpg it will cost $120

1 US gallons = 3.7854118 liters

Depends on the type of gallons as below:\n53 Gallons(British) = 0.241 cubic metres\n53 Gallons(US, dry) = 0.233 cubic metres\n53 Gallons(US, liquid) = 0.2 cubic metres
