d) An acre is an area that covers 4047 m². In the U.S., a commonly used unit of volume is the acre-ft. (AF) or the volume of water required to cover one acre of land with water 1 ft. deep. How many cubic feet in an acre-ft.? How many cubic meters? e) Another commonly used unit of volume is the U.S. gallon (264.17 gal = 1m³). The average US family has four people. Assume the average family does 8 loads of laundry per week. If a top loading washing machine has a capacity of 4.5 ft³ and a front-loading washing machine has a capacity of 28.4. gallons, how many cubic centimeters of water does the average family use per week for each of these washing machine types? Assume there are eight million families in California, how much water in cubic meters could California save if everyone used a front-loading washing machine instead of a top-loading washing machine?

Question
d) An acre is an area that covers 4047 m². In the U.S., a
commonly used unit of volume is the acre-ft. (AF) or the
volume of water required to cover one acre of land with water
1 ft. deep. How many cubic feet in an acre-ft.? How many
cubic meters?
e) Another commonly used unit of volume is the U.S. gallon
(264.17 gal = 1m³). The average US family has four people.
Assume the average family does 8 loads of laundry per week.
If a top loading washing machine has a capacity of 4.5 ft³ and
a front-loading washing machine has a capacity of 28.4
gallons, how many cubic centimeters of water does the average
family use per week for each of these washing machine types?
Assume there are eight million families in California, how
much water in cubic meters could California save if everyone
used a front-loading washing machine instead of a top-loading
washing machine?
