Answer 1

To convert 2 gallons to the metric system, we'll start with the fact that there are 4 quarts in a gallon. Therefore:

\[
2 \text{ gallons} = 2 \times 4 = 8 \text{ quarts}
\]

Now, we'll convert quarts to liters using the conversion factor \(1 \text{ qt} = 0.95 \text{ L}\):

\[
8 \text{ quarts} \times 0.95 \text{ L/qt} = 7.6 \text{ liters}
\]

However, if we consider the common conversion **1 quart = 0.95 L**, our exact conversion results in:

\[
8 \times 0.95 = 7.6 \text{ liters}
\]

To confirm the options given, the closest answer is **7.57 Liters**.

For the second question, to convert 50 grams to pounds, we use the conversion factor where \(1 \text{ kg} = 2.2 \text{ lb}\).

First, we convert grams to kilograms:

\[
50 \text{ g} = 0.05 \text{ kg}
\]

Now we convert kilograms to pounds:

\[
0.05 \text{ kg} \times 2.2 \text{ lb/kg} = 0.11 \text{ lb}
\]

So, 50 grams equals **0.11 LBs**.

Summarizing the answers:

1. **7.57 Liters**
2. **0.11 LBs**
