You can put this solution on YOUR website! You have run acrosss an alien civilization that needs fuel for their spaceship.
They tell you their fuel tank holds 50 cubic centrodes of ocean water that can only be found on earth.
you would love to help them out but you have no idea what a cntrode is,
all you know is 5 feet is equal to 1 centrode and 7.5 gallns is equal to 1 ft^3?
determine how many gallons of seawater they will need.
:
Since 1 centrode = 5', then 1 cu/cen is 5 * 5 * 5 = 125 cu/ft
;
The equation
50 * 125 * 7.5 = 46,875 gal
