B what is the capacity In gallons?

Answer 1

A. Since the dimensions are multiplied by 12 as stated in the given above, the capacity is equal to the original volume times the cube of 12. 
                            new capacity = (53 fluid ounce) x (12^3) = 91,584 fluid ounce

B. The capacity in gallons is calculated through the equation,
                      capacity in gallons = (91,584 fluid ounce) x (1 gallon / 128 fluid ounce)
                        capacity in gallons = 715.5 gallons
