Question

Giraffes need to drink 23 L of water each day.
How much water will they need to drink in the month of September in Gallons (U.S)?



217 gal
712 gal
356 gal
183 gal

Answer 1

To find out how much water giraffes need to drink in the month of September in gallons (U.S.), we first need to determine how many days are in September, which is 30 days.

1. Calculate the total amount of water needed in liters for 30 days:
\[
23 \text{ L/day} \times 30 \text{ days} = 690 \text{ L}
\]

2. Convert liters to gallons. The conversion factor is:
\[
1 \text{ L} \approx 0.264172 \text{ gallons}
\]

3. Use this conversion factor to convert 690 liters to gallons:
\[
690 \text{ L} \times 0.264172 \text{ gal/L} \approx 182.812 \text{ gal}
\]

Therefore, giraffes will need approximately 183 gallons of water in the month of September.

The answer is **183 gal**.
