can you drink a whole lake

 we got an awesome question from  bedtime math fan Carmel  p could you drink a whole lake in an hour well you'd  better hope it a small lake look at  1/2 gallon of milk that's  already a lot to  drink. now imagine a 1 foot wide cube it would hold 8 gallons or 16 cations now imagine a  20 x 20 foot square swimming pool that's 10 feet if water or 64,000 milk cartons now imagine a square ish lake 200 feet wide and long and 100 feet pool across 10 pools from back to front and 10 layers of pools too to bottom you'd  have to drink 1,000 swimming pool in and here  or about  1 every 3 pretty fat stew for that.  if  you could drink 5 whole swimming pools what numbers do you say to count them 1 2 3 4 5  if a little lake holds 9 pools of water and  you've drunk 5 pools of water how many pools of water  do you have lift to drink count up to find out 4 more pools with of water  If you make it to only halfway between  5 and  9 how many  swimming  pools do you drink it total 7 pools. if a lake holds just 8 million gallons  how many people  can drink it down if each person drinks just 1/4 gallon (hint if needed Than means it take 4 people to drink each gallon) 32 million  people because each gallon needs 4 people tackling it  thats almost all the people in Canada  if you could drink 10 whole swimming pools every 10 minutes could you empty a 100 pool lake in 1 hour no there are only 6 10minuter  chunks in hour so you could drink only  60 pool in an hour another way to think of it 10 pools in 10 minutes is 1 pool per minute so that's 60 in an hour. lake  superior  in the u.s holds 3 quadrillion  gallons of water can you spell 3 quadrillion in digits hint a quadrillion is one thousand trillions and a trillions and a trillion is one thousand billons 3,000,000,000,000,000 gallons. from called book bedtime math
