Weight of water

Question

If the weight of water is 62 1/2 in per cubic foot. What is the weight of 131/ cubic foot of water

Answer 1

Hmm, one cubic foot of water weighs 62.5 POUNDS, not 62.5 inches.  If one cubic foot weighs 62.5 pounds, then 131 cubic feet weigh 131 × 62.5 = ___?  This is what multiplication is for - repeated addition!
