Answer 1

To find out how many gallons the container holds, you can use the given ratio of 1 gallon equals about 3,785 milliliters.

You can calculate the number of gallons by dividing the volume in milliliters by the number of milliliters per gallon:

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

Now, doing the calculation:

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

So, the container holds approximately 9 gallons.

The correct response is 9.
