2 Estimates NameEstimate 200 days 250 days 215 days 200 days

3 Team’s Method Estimated the area of Reser Stadium Estimated that 1 yd^3 was 5 gallons Estimated fire hose releases 30 gal of water per minute

4 Statement of Any Assumptions Estimated Reser Stadium to be 1,950,000 yd^3 Estimated that a fire hose releases 30 gal of water per minute

5 Solution 150 yd (width) x 200 yd (length) x 65 yd (height) = 1,950,000 yd^3 x (5 gal/ 1 yd^3) = (9,750,000 yd^3/gal) / (30 gal / min) = (325,000 min/gal) / 60 minutes =5416 hrs / 24 hrs =approx. 226 days
