Algebra.Com's Answer #658335 by josmiceli(19441)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! First you need to convert cubic yards \n" ); document.write( "to gallons. I looked it up ( google ) and got: \n" ); document.write( "1 cubic yard = 201.974 US liquid gallons \n" ); document.write( "------------------------------------ \n" ); document.write( "Now find how many cubic yards are in the tank: \n" ); document.write( "width = \n" ); document.write( "------------------ \n" ); document.write( "Note that 200% just means a factor of \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "depth = \n" ); document.write( "-------------------------- \n" ); document.write( "Note that 100% GREATER THAN means 100% \n" ); document.write( "in addition to, so \n" ); document.write( "Length = twice the width \n" ); document.write( "Length = \n" ); document.write( "------------------------- \n" ); document.write( "Volume of tank = width x length x depth \n" ); document.write( "Volume = \n" ); document.write( "----------------------------------- \n" ); document.write( "Just in terms of dimensions: \n" ); document.write( "[ cubic yards ] x [ gallons / [ 1 cubic yard ] = [ gallons ] \n" ); document.write( "-------------------------------------------- \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "1,615.792 gallons is the volume of the tank \n" ); document.write( "----------------- \n" ); document.write( " |
