Answer 1

To find out how many gallons the container holds, we can set up a simple division using the ratio:

1 gallon = 3785 milliliters.

We have a container that holds 34065 milliliters. So we divide 34065 milliliters by the number of milliliters in a gallon:

34065 milliliters ÷ 3785 milliliters/gallon = 9 gallons.

The correct answer is:

C. 9
