Real-World Examples:

1. Water Tank Capacity:

   • If you have a water tank that can hold 500 gallons of water, you can convert this to cubic feet by multiplying: $500 \text{ gallons} \times 0.133681 \text{ cubic feet per gallon} = 66.8405 \text{ cubic feet}.$

2. Swimming Pool Volume:

   • Suppose your swimming pool holds 20,000 gallons of water. To find out the volume in cubic feet: $20,000 \text{ gallons} \times 0.133681 \text{ cubic feet per gallon} = 2673.62 \text{ cubic feet}.$

3. Daily Water Usage:

   • If an average household uses 100 gallons of water per day, you can convert this to cubic feet: $100 \text{ gallons} \times 0.133681 \text{ cubic feet per gallon} = 13.3681 \text{ cubic feet}.$

4. Fuel Storage:

   • If a gas station has an underground tank that holds 10,000 gallons of gasoline, the volume in cubic feet would be: $10,000 \text{ gallons} \times 0.133681 \text{ cubic feet per gallon} = 1336.81 \text{ cubic feet}.$

By using the conversion factor (0.133681 cubic feet per gallon), you can convert any quantity of gallons to cubic feet for various applications.
