[tseday871221]

conversion chart:
2.54 cm= 1 inch.
1 liter= 0.264 gallon
1 cm^3= 1 milliliter
1000 milliliter=1 liter

how many gallons in one cubic foot?
how many cubic centimeters in one gallon?

how do i set up and solve?

you'll have to change ...

ft³ to in³ to cm³ to liters to gallons

to get you started ...

1 ft³ = 1728 in³ = 28316.84659 cm³ = 28.31684659 liters

now, you finish up and convert the liters to gallons.

you can check out the answers you get here:

just type in:

1 cubic foot in gallons
or
1 cubic centimeter in gallons

but make sure you do the math on paper with pencil first! nothing and nobody is perfect (including calculators)!

you can work it out on paper like a DA (dimensional analysis)
which I would show you, but I'm not sure how to do that on the internet. If I figure it out, I'll post it here. Try figure it on your own for now and just check what answers you get with the above website.

ask yourself how many cubic inches in a cubit foot.
1ftx1ftx1ft = 12inchx12inchx12inch= ???

ask yourself how many cubic cm in a cubic inch
1inchx1inchx1inch=2.54cmx2.54cmx2.54cm= ???

then convert cubic cm to millimeters

then divide by 1000 to get liters per cubic foot

ask yourself how many gallons in a liter and convert
