To determine the weight of 9.4 cubic feet of water, we first need to find out how many gallons of water are in that volume. Since we know that 1 cubic foot holds 7.48 gallons, we can calculate:
Gallons in 9.4 cubic feet:
9.4 cubic feet × 7.48 gallons/cubic foot = 70.312 gallons
Next, we need to calculate the weight of the water. Given that 1 gallon of water weighs 8.33 lb, we can find the total weight:
Weight of 70.312 gallons:
70.312 gallons × 8.33 lb/gallon = 585.60 lb
Therefore, the weight of 9.4 cubic feet of water is approximately 585.60 pounds.
