...but something is wrong
During a thunderstorm, a total of 1.10 in of rain falls. What weight of water (in pounds) falls on 5.00 acres of land? (640 acre = 1 mi2) You will need to use the fact that 1 ft3 of water weighs 62.4 lb.
i did all my measurments i think correct....and I got something around 242lbs....does that sound right?
I got 1,245,816 lbs
i get 124,581.60 lbs
Sounds like you're dividing by 10 somewhere for some reason. I might have made a mistake, but I don't think so. Recheck that answer.Quote:

math is fun, but figuring out word problems must be an acquired taste. :D
We weren't posting any work cuz we didn't want to do the kids homework.
Oh well, it was prolly due already anyways.
OOP, would you not agree that a complex solution would provide for a more in depth understanding of a given process than that of a simplistic approach? Later on, such problems will not include all the units needed in order to obtain a solution.
At any rate, I'll blame it on too many chemistry and physics problems. :)
yep, that's it! thanks for the help. I was doing all my conversions wrong >:o...thanks againQuote:
