Question
I have an oil tank with 288.0 gallons of oil. One gallon is 231 inches cubed. What is the volume of the tank in cubic feet and cubic meters and how do I get this answer?
288 gallons
1 gallon = 231 in^3
231/(12^3) = 231/1728
288 * (231/1728) = 66528/1728
ANS : about 38.5 ft^3
------------------
231/(39^3) = 231/59319
288(231/59319) = 66528/59319
ANS : about 1.1215 m^3
I went to www.convert-me.com
The m^3 might be off, because i use 39 inches in a meter instead of what they use.
