Answer 1

To find out how many gallons the container holds, you can use the ratio of 1 gallon equals about 3,785 milliliters.

Given:
- The container holds 34,065 milliliters.
- 1 gallon = 3,785 milliliters.

To convert milliliters to gallons, you divide the number of milliliters by the number of milliliters in a gallon:

\[
\text{Gallons} = \frac{\text{Milliliters}}{\text{Milliliters per gallon}} = \frac{34,065 \text{ ml}}{3,785 \text{ ml/gallon}}
\]

Calculating this:

\[
\text{Gallons} = \frac{34,065}{3,785} \approx 9
\]

So, the container holds approximately 9 gallons.

The correct response is **9**.
