🔍 Key Concepts

• Weight of water per gallon in long tons • Converting gallons per minute (gpm) to weight added per minute • Impact of water accumulation on ship stability during firefighting

💭 Think About

• First, figure out approximately how many pounds of water are in 1 gallon, then in 125 gallons. • Convert pounds per minute into long tons per minute (remember 1 long ton is 2,240 pounds). • Compare your calculated long tons per minute to the choices and see which is closest.

✅ Before You Answer

• Use about 8.34 lb per gallon of seawater/freshwater for estimation. • Be sure you are converting to long tons (2,240 lb), not short tons (2,000 lb). • Double-check your multiplication of 125 gpm × pounds per gallon before converting to tons.
