Answer 1

To determine how many gallons of water are in the container, we can set up a proportion based on the conversion factor that 1 gallon equals about 3,785 milliliters.

First, we can use the formula:

\[ \text{Number of gallons} = \frac{\text{Volume in milliliters}}{\text{Milliliters per gallon}} \]

Substituting the values we have:

\[ \text{Number of gallons} = \frac{34,065 \text{ milliliters}}{3,785 \text{ milliliters/gallon}} \]

Now calculating the above:

\[ \text{Number of gallons} \approx \frac{34,065}{3,785} \approx 9 \]

So, there are approximately 9 gallons of water in the container.

As for the choices given, the closest correct response for the number of gallons in the container is 9.
