What is volume?

The term “volume” refers to the amount of three-dimensional space taken up by an item or a closed surface. It is denoted by V and its SI unit is in cubic cm.

Unit conversion;

1 pound = 16 ounce

The weight of the cake is;

[tex]\rm 3\frac{1}{4} = \frac{13}{4}[/tex]

1 pound = 16 ounce

[tex]\rm 3\frac{1}{4} pound =16 \times \frac{13}{4} =32 \ ounce[/tex]

A running tap dispenses 0.15 gallons of water every second

1 second = 0.15 gallon

20 second = 20 × 0.15 gallon

20 second = 3 gallon

Unit conversion in volume;

Quarts into pints;

1 quart = 2 pints

4 quart = 8 pints

1 gallon  = 4 quarts

1 gallon = 8 pints

20 second = 3 gallon

20 second = 3 × 8 pints

20 second = 24 pints

Hence, the cake weighs 52 ounces and 24 Pints of water are dispensed after 20 seconds.
