calling all engineers
This question bugs me every time I double check my gallon calculations.
First, as I understand it, the conversion factor for cubic feet to gallons is cf x 7.5 (7.5 gallons in each square foot). Isn't that right? My very math-savvy father says it is, and I have seen it in print. Now, what I don't understand is this: A five gallon water jug is much bigger than one square foot. You could set a 12 inch square block right down in to one of those, if it was open at the big end. How can this factor be correct? I just can't wrap my brain around it. Help me, please. If you are a lurker, and you can explain it to me, feel free to email me. Or, just come up out of lurkdom - we'd all love to meet you. Thanks, Ann |
