Answer 1

To find out how many gallons of water are in a container that holds 34,065 milliliters, we can use the following proportion:

\[ \text{Gallons} = \frac{\text{Milliliters}}{\text{Milliliters per gallon}} \]

In this case, the proportion can be expressed as:

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

Now, let's calculate the number of gallons:

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

So the answer to question 2 is 9 gallons.
