Question 1050665: A rectangular channel is partially filled with water measuring 50 ft long and 5 ft wide has 935 gallons of water in it, what is the depth of the water in inches Answer by rothauserc(4718) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 1 cubic foot is 7.48 gallons, therefore
:
935 / 7.48 = 125 cubic feet
:
125 = 50 * 5 * h, where h is height
:
h = (125/250) = (1/2) foot
:
**************************************
Depth of water = 12 * (1/2) = 6 inches
