Math Question

[Kingfisher]

In a 3ft by 3ft square how many gallons of water do I need to equal a 1 inch rain?

Extra points if you know what I'm trying to solve.

Thanks in advance

5.61 gallons.

 

[Caustic Burno]

5.61 gallons.

I didn't use that fine a pencil rounded off some on the acre at 44k square feet and got 6 gallons.

Apparently trying to put 54 gallons of water on something. Other than that I am as confused as hungry baby in topless bar.
Don't answer Kingfisher someone will figure it out.

Your maths off.....I could never carry that much water to the site.

3x3 is 9 square feet using 6 gallons to the foot comes to 54 .

It's six pounds to a one gallon is what I'm saying....

It's not an acre.......it's a 3ft by 3ft TEST PLOT. Sorry for the confusion. For what it's worth 54 gallons won't dent an acre here

Edit: no clue what you are trying to solve

I have the answer, you're trying to work out why on earth you don't have a metric system.....

I have the answer, you're trying to work out why on earth you don't have a metric system.....

it's just shy of 1m x 1m and 2.5cm deep, so a little under 25 liters.. Oh, that's about 6 gallons!

That's sort of how I worked it out Nesi. When you grow up with the imperial system and change to metric you have a pretty good knowledge of how basic lengths and volumes convert over, like 3' is 90cm, 1" is 2.5cm and 1 litre is 1000 cubic cm. Makes it all very easy.

Not in most places.

Your trying to figure out how much water fits in one of those big plastic totes. It's stamped on the side.
Only that's for 8 pound water, I don't know about 6 pound water.

To calculate the gallons of water on a given area it is square feet times dept of water in inches times 0.62.

9 square feet X 1 inch X 0.62 = 5.58 gallons

Wrong . You Google how many gallons in a 3' x3' by 1 inch area....5.61 gallons

 

[Butterbean_Farms]

There are 0.00433 gallons in a cubic inch.

36"x36"x1"= 1296 cubic inches

1296 cubic inches x 0.00433 gallons/cubic inch = 5.61 gallons
