    Time it will take to drain the entire tower = 2.8minutes

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The question is incomplete as the volume of the tower was not indicated.

    Let's consider the following question:

    If there are 7.48 gallons in a cubic foot, and the volume of the tower is around 36000in cubed. Residents of the apartment building are using the water from the tower at an average rate of 56 gallons per minute, determine how long it will take to drain the entire tower.

    Solution:

    Volume = 36000in³

    Conversion of in³ to ft³

    1 inch = 0.0833 feet

    12 inch = 1 ft

    1 ft³ = 1ft * 1ft * 1ft

    = 12 in x 12 in x 12 in = 1728 in³

    36000in³ * [ (1ft³) / (1728 in³) = (36000/1728) ft³

    = 20.833ft³

    Volume = 20.833ft³

    There are 7.48 gallons in a cubic foot

    In 20.833ft³ = 20.833ft³ * (7.48 gallons/1ft³)

    = 20.833 * 7.48gallons

    Volume = 155.83 gallons

    The rate of usage = 56 gallons per minute

    The rate of usage for 155.83 gallons = 155.83 gallons * (1min/56gallons)

    = (155.83/56) minute

    = 2.8minutes

    Time it will take to drain the entire tower = 2.8minutes
