how many gallons of ocean do we have collectively?

[Lalani]

1215.33 + 23 =

 

1238.33

[nanu-nanu]

Ahh god I was gonna add it, but I suck at the math.

I have a 40 w/ a 20 sump, and a 12!

So plus me 72!

[eball2k]

75+20+10=105

 

1310.33 + 105 = 1415.33

 

plus the sump on the 75 is another 30 so...

TOTAL 1445.33

my 20g

 

1435.33

[Jamie]

1435.33

 

+21.4 for me

 

total=1456.73

[Nick's Reef]

So right now we have 1310.33

 

75(really my dad's but in same house)

ap24

10 gallon qt

so 109

+1310.33

=1419.33

[eball2k]

This is gettin a little confusing bc people are posting at the same time but i think this is the appropriate total

 

150. 4 + 1445.33 = 1595.73

[JKUNZ]

1585.73+12+35+46=1688.73

[Alias1]

It's still empty....

 

1688.73 + 0 = 1688.73

[mushroom head]

1688.73+120+4+10+13+another 13= 1848.73

[Sea Slug]

+172=1860.73

[TheUnfocusedOne]

+3.5 = 1864.23

[phil_ip]

1864.23 + 24g + 2.5g = 1890.73

 

1890.73

[Longinus]

1864.23 + 24g + 2.5g = 1890.73

 

1890.73

 

+25 for me

 

1890.73 + 25 = 1915.73

If by "ocean" you mean ocean, none... since no salt water tank replicates oceanic life to the degree that, well, oceans do. But if by "ocean" you mean "water with added man-made salt and whatever chemicals we decide to dose... well then... 1890.73 + 33 (tank) + 4.27 (fuge- to make things even again) = 1928

25g = 1953

[FateX9]

120+44=164+1953=2117

[RayWhisperer]

2117+48=2165

[holdorf333]

2165+11gal

 

2166

 

Edit: quick responses

[Atomic081]

2190

[er1c_the_reefer]

i gots 320g.

 

2190 + 320 = 2410

[Hoobahans]

2410+39+20+24=2493

[clifford513]

2493 + 36=2526

found this on a math site:

 

1. How many gallons of water are in the ocean? The ocean contains 328,000,000 cubic miles of salt water. Each cubic mile can hold (5280)³ cubic feet of water. Each cubic foot can hold (12)³ cubic inches. Each gallon can hold 231 cubic inches.

 

Answer: 3.612 x 10²º gallons of sea water in the ocean.

 

Calculation: Use the normal conversions of feet to mile, inches to feet, but cube the numbers because you are dealing with volume. Take the number of cubic miles of ocean water and multiply by (5280)³ to find the number of feet in miles, then multiply again by (12)³ to find the number of inches in feet, and divide by 231 to find how many gallons will hold that many cubic inches.

 

2. How many olympic pools would the ocean fill? If the ocean contains 3.612 x 10²º gallons of sea water, and the olympic pool being used in the 1996 Olympic Games holds one million gallons of water, how many olympic-size pools would the ocean fill?

 

Answer: 3.612 x 1014 olympic pools

 

Calculation: Divide the number of gallons in the ocean by the number of gallons an olympic pool holds.

 

3. How many times would olympic pools of ocean water wrap around the Earth at the equator? If each olympic pool is 50 meters long, how many times would these pools wrap around the Earth at the equator, if the equator is 24,901.55 miles long? There are 1609.3 meters in a mile.

 

Answer: 4.51 x 108 Earth wraps if the olympic pools were laid down lengthwise around the equator.

 

Calculation: It takes 3.612 x 1014 olympic pools to hold all the ocean water calculated in Problem 1. So multiply this number by 50 meters, the length of each pool, divide by 1609.3 meters in each mile, then divide again by 24,901.55 miles around the equator.

 

4. How many times would gallon "milk" jugs of ocean water wrap around the equator? If the ocean holds 3.612 x 10²º gallons of sea water in common "milk" gallon containers one foot wide, and all were placed side by side, how many times would the gallons wrap around the Earth at the equator? The equator is 24,901.55 miles.

 

Answer: 2.75 x 10¹² (27 billion, 500 million wraps) around the Earth at the equator.

 

Calculation: Take the number of gallons in the ocean and multiply by how wide the gallon milk jug is, which is one foot, so you are dealing with the same number now in units of feet. Take that and divide by the number of feet in a mile, 5280, then divide again by how many miles is the distance at the equator. The final answer is how many "wraps" around the earth the gallon jugs would fit.

 

5. If all the ocean water were piled on top of the U.S., how deep (miles) would the water be? If all the ocean water, 328,000,000 cubic miles, were piled up on top of the United States, 3,700,000 square miles, how deep (miles) would the water be?

 

Answer: 88.6 miles

 

Calculation: Take the number of cubic miles of ocean water and divide it by the number of square miles of land in the United States. When you divide same units with exponets, you subtract the exponets. Thus, the answer is how many miles upward the water would be.

 

6. If all the ocean water were piled on top of the available land, 57,500,000 square miles (above sea level), on this planet, how deep (miles) would the water be?

 

Answer: 5.7 miles

 

Calculation: Divide same as in original problem 5, but use total land miles on Earth and not the United States.
