Answer: 308 gallons of water.
Step-by-step explanation:
First find the volume of the water been.
The volume of a rectangular prism uses the formula
V= L * W *H
V = 8 * 5 * 1
V = 40 ft^3
Now we will convert 40ft into gallons using what they gave us that 1 gallon is 0.13 ft^3
[tex]\frac{1}{x} = \frac{0.13}{40}[/tex] which means if 1 gallon is 0.13 cubic feet how much will 40 cubic feet be when converted to gallons.
Solve by cross product.
0.13x = 40 divide both sides by 0.13
x= 308
