Question 1075595: An oil tank in the shape of a cylinder has volume 18m cubed. If 1 gallon=4.5 litres how many gallons does it hold?
Answer by Boreal(15235)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 1 m=100 cm
1m^3=100^3 cm^3=1,000,000 cm^3
1 liter=1000 cm
Therefore, 1 m^3=1000000 cm^3=1000 liters.
1000 liters*1 gallon/4.5 liters=222.2 gallons.
BUT, there are 18 m^3
Therefore, it is 222.2222*18 or 4000 gallons.
