Calculate the volume of water in cubic feet using the area and depth of rainfall. \n" ); document.write( "Convert cubic feet to cubic inches. \n" ); document.write( "Convert to gallons using the conversion factor. \n" ); document.write( "Convert to weight using the density of water. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "There are 231 cubic inches in a gallon so divide the number of cubic inches by 231 to get the number of gallons. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Finally multiply by the weight per gallon to get the total weight of the rainfall, \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
