Question

Lake superior is the largest of the great lakes, with a volume of 2900 mi3. how many gallons of water are contained in lake superior?

Answer 1

we are given

Volume of water in lake in mi^3

`V=2900mi^3`

now, we know that

`1 mi^3= 1.10111715*10^(12) gallons`

we can multiply both sides by 2900

`2900*1 mi^3= 2900*1.10111715*10^(12) gallons`

`2900*1 mi^3= 3193.239735*10^(12) gallons`

we can write in scientific form

`2900 mi^3= 3.193239735*10^(15) gallons`...........Answer
