Exercise 9 Page 320

Use the conversion factor that 1 gallon is roughly equal to 3.79 liters.

113.7 L

Practice makes perfect
Converting between gallons (gal) and liters (L) will involve using a conversion factor. 3.79L/1gal Multiplying 30gal by this conversion factor will convert it to liters.
30gal*3.79L/1gal
30gal*3.79L/1gal
30gal*3.79L/1gal
30*3.79L/1
30*3.79L

Common Conversion Factors
The following tool can be used to help you explore some of the most commonly used conversion factors. Conversions can be made both within or between the Metric System and the Imperial System — which is also known as the U.S. Customary System. Conversions can also be made for different measurement types: length, mass, temperature, time, area, or volume.
Conversion factors between different units of measurement
All across the globe, humans use conversion factors on a daily basis. Want to use a recipe that is written using milliliters? Convert it! Want to compare your height to that of an Olympic athlete? Convert it! You can read more about applications of conversion factors in our original content.
