Question

use the ratio 1 gallon equals about 3785 a container holds 34,065 milliliters how many gallons does the container hold

Answer 1

To convert the volume of the container from milliliters to gallons, you can use the conversion factor: 1 gallon is approximately 3785 milliliters.

First, divide the volume of the container in milliliters by the number of milliliters per gallon:

\[
\text{Gallons} = \frac{\text{Milliliters}}{\text{Milliliters per gallon}} = \frac{34,065 \text{ mL}}{3785 \text{ mL/gallon}}
\]

Now, calculating that:

\[
\text{Gallons} \approx \frac{34,065}{3785} \approx 9.0 \text{ gallons}
\]

So, the container holds approximately 9 gallons.
