You can put this solution on YOUR website!
a rectangle that is 240 by 30 by 5 cubic feet is equal to 240 * 30 * 5 = 36000 cubic feet.
from an internet search, i have determined that 1 cubic foot is equivalent to 7.48051948 gallons.
based on that information, 36000 cubic feet is equivalent to 36,000 * 7.48051948 = 269,298.7013 gallons.
