To determine the total weight of 9.4 gallons of water, follow this step-by-step process:
1. Identify the weight of water per gallon:
Water weighs 8.355 pounds per gallon.
2. Identify the number of gallons:
We have 9.4 gallons of water.
3. Calculate the total weight:
Multiply the weight of each gallon by the number of gallons:
[tex]\[
\text{Total weight} = (\text{Weight per gallon}) \times (\text{Number of gallons})
\][/tex]
[tex]\[
\text{Total weight} = 8.355 \, \text{pounds/gallon} \times 9.4 \, \text{gallons}
\][/tex]
4. Perform the multiplication:
When you multiply 8.355 by 9.4, you obtain the total weight.
The total weight of 9.4 gallons of water is:
[tex]\[
78.537 \, \text{pounds}
\][/tex]
So, 9.4 gallons of water weigh 78.537 pounds.
