Answer 1

To determine how many gallons of water are in the container, we can use the following proportion:

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

Now, let's calculate the number of gallons:

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

So, the number of gallons in the container is approximately 9 gallons.

Answers:

1. The proportion to use for solving the problem is: \[ \text{Gallons} = \frac{\text{Milliliters}}{\text{Milliliters per Gallon}} \]

2. The number of gallons in the container is approximately 9.
