How do you convert 15000000 cubic feet of water into tons?
First, you need to to determine how many gallons are in 15,000,000 cubic feet. Since there are 7.481 gallons in onecubic foot: 15,000,000 x 7.481 = 112,215,000 gallons.Now that you know how many gallons are in 15 million cubic feet, you multiply gallons by 8.34 (one gallon of water weighs about 8.34 pounds). So,112,215,000 gallons x 8.34 pounds = 935,873,100 pounds and, 935,873,100 pounds divided by 2,000 (1 ton is 2,000 pounds) = 467,936.55 tons. Therefore, 15 million cubic feet of water weighs about 467,936.55 tons
