To find out how many gallons the container holds, we need to convert the milliliters to gallons.

Using the given ratio: 1 gallon equals about 3,785 milliliters, we can set up a proportion:

1 gallon / 3,785 milliliters = x gallons / 34,065 milliliters

Cross-multiplying and solving for x:

34,065 milliliters * 1 gallon = 3,785 milliliters * x gallons

34,065 gallons = 3,785x

Dividing both sides by 3,785:

x = 34,065 / 3,785

x = 9

Therefore, the container holds 9 gallons.
