How many cubic feet are in 2,336 pounds of water?

To determine how many cubic feet are in 2,336 pounds of water, it is essential to know the weight of one cubic foot of water. In general, one cubic foot of water weighs approximately 62.4 pounds.

To find the volume in cubic feet, you divide the total weight of the water by the weight per cubic foot:

[ \text{Volume (cubic feet)} = \frac{\text{Weight (pounds)}}{\text{Weight of one cubic foot (pounds)}} ]

Using this formula with the given weight:

[ \text{Volume} = \frac{2,336 \text{ pounds}}{62.4 \text{ pounds/cubic foot}} ]

Calculating this gives:

[ \text{Volume} = 37.4 \text{ cubic feet} ]

This shows that 2,336 pounds of water is equivalent to approximately 37.4 cubic feet, making this choice the correct answer. Understanding the conversion factor between weight and volume for water is crucial in water treatment operations and calculations in various applications in water management.
