Question

How do you convert 4.72 gallons to milliliters if 946 mL = 1 qt?

Answer 1

`"4.72 gal"~~"17900 mL"` rounded to three significant figures

Explanation:

Start with the relationships between milliliters (mL), quarts (qt), and gallons (gal).

`"946 mL = 1 qt"`
`"1 gal = 4 qt"`

In order to convert gallons to milliliters, multiply the given number of gallons by `(4"qt")/(1"gal")`, then multiply by `("946 mL")/(1"qt")`.

`4.72cancel"gal"xx(4cancel"qt")/(1cancel"gal")xx(946"mL")/(1cancel"qt")~~"17900 mL"` rounded to three significant figures
