Convert 55 gallons to cubic feet.

To convert gallons to cubic feet, it's important to know the conversion factor between these two units. One cubic foot is equivalent to approximately 7.48 gallons. To find out how many cubic feet are in 55 gallons, you would divide the number of gallons by the number of gallons per cubic foot.

The calculation is as follows:

[

\text{Cubic feet} = \frac{\text{Gallons}}{\text{Gallons per cubic foot}} = \frac{55 \text{ gallons}}{7.48 \text{ gallons/cubic foot}} \approx 7.35 \text{ cubic feet}

]

This calculation shows that 55 gallons converts to about 7.35 cubic feet, making it the correct answer. This result is helpful in applications where volume measurements are needed in different units, such as in various engineering and environmental contexts where both gallons and cubic feet may be relevant.
