I'm trying to figure out how many gallons a tank will hold. I've tried
googling with no help. The tank is 28" x 18" x 16" and it's supposed to
hold 35 gallons. It just seems too small to me. In comparison I have a
tank that measures 13" x 12" x 18" and I'm sure it only holds around 12
gallons. Any help is appreciated.


You can do math using the google search field; in your case, it would be
"x cubic inches to gallons", where "x" is the product of 28x18x6.

To put this all into one line, you could use the following syntax:

(28 * 18 * 6 ) cubic inches to gallons

Google is getting pretty slick. The URL is pretty long so just try
googling
3024 cubic inches in gallons
