To find out how many gallons a container holds that has a capacity of 34,065 milliliters, you can use the conversion factor where 1 gallon is approximately 3,785 milliliters.

You can set up the equation as follows:

\[
\text{gallons} = \frac{\text{milliliters}}{\text{milliliters per gallon}} = \frac{34,065 \text{ mL}}{3,785 \text{ mL/gallon}}
\]

Now, performing the calculation:

\[
\text{gallons} = \frac{34,065}{3,785} \approx 9.0
\]

So, the container holds approximately **9 gallons**.
