One cubic foot of water contains how many gallons?

  1. 5.25 gallons

  2. 7.48 gallons

  3. 9.62 gallons

  4. 12.34 gallons

The correct answer is: 5.25 gallons

B, C, and D are incorrect because they are all larger than the correct answer of 5.25 gallons. One cubic foot is equal to 7.48 gallons, so none of these options could be correct. To find the correct answer, you would convert cubic feet to gallons. So, one cubic foot of water contains 7.48 gallons. This is a conversion that is often used in cooking or construction, for example, when trying to figure out how much water is needed for a recipe or how much paint is needed for a room.
