How many gallons are there in 9 cubic feet of water if one cubic foot contains 7.48 gallons?

67.32 gallons
54.39 gallons
74.64 gallons
85.47 gallons

The correct answer is: 67.32 gallons

To determine the number of gallons in 9 cubic feet of water, you start by recognizing the conversion factor between cubic feet and gallons. One cubic foot contains 7.48 gallons. Therefore, to find out how many gallons are in 9 cubic feet, you simply multiply the number of cubic feet (9) by the number of gallons per cubic foot (7.48): \[ 9 \, \text{cubic feet} \times 7.48 \, \text{gallons/cubic foot} = 67.32 \, \text{gallons} \] Thus, the total amount of water in 9 cubic feet is 67.32 gallons, making this the correct answer. Understanding this calculation is essential for converting different volume measures in water management and adhering to regulations set forth by the TCEQ. The other choices do not accurately reflect the conversion calculations based on the provided factor of gallons per cubic foot.
