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 = \"+2+\" yds
\n" ); document.write( "------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Note that 200% just means a factor of \"+2+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+2+\" yds = twice the depth
\n" ); document.write( "depth = \"+%281%2F2%29%2A2+=+1+\" yd
\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 = \"+2%2A2+=+4+\" yds
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Volume of tank = width x length x depth
\n" ); document.write( "Volume = \"+2%2A1%2A4+=+8+\" cubic yards
\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( "\"+8%2A%28+201.974+%2F+1+%29+=+1615.792+\" gallons
\n" ); document.write( "1,615.792 gallons is the volume of the tank
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
