Question

How many milliliters are in 4.8 gallons (1 gallon = 3.8L and 1L - 100mL)?

Answer 1

See a solution process below:

Explanation:

First, using the information provided in the problem, we can convert gallons to liters by multiplying each side of the first equation by `4.8`:

`4.8 xx 1" gallon" = 4.8 xx 3.8"L"`

`4.8" gallons" = 18.24"L"`

We can now take the result in Liters, or `18.24`, and multiply each side of the second equation by this result to obtain the number of mL in 4.8 gallons.

However, the second equation is incorrect. There are 1000mL in 1L. Therefore, we will use this equation: `1"L" = 1000"mL"`

`18.24 xx 1"L" = 18.24 xx 1000"mL"`

`18.24"L" = 18240"mL"`

Therefore, 4.8 gallons is approximately 18,240mL
