    Use the information below to determine the weight of 500 gallons of water.

    a) There are 1.057 quarts in a liter and 4 quarts in a gallon
    b) A cubic decimeter of water is a liter of water
    c) A cubic decimeter of water weighs one kilogram
    d) There are 2.2 pounds in a kilogram

    • 500 gallons = 2000 quarts
    • 2000 quarts / 1.057 quarts in a liter = 1892.15 liters
    • 1892.15 liters weight 1892.15 kilograms
    • 1892.15 kilograms x 2.2 pounds = 4163 pounds
