Question

How do you convert 6.08 gallons to milliliters if 946 mL = 1 qt?

Answer 1

Convert gallons to quarts and then to millilitres.

Explanation:

1. Convert gallons to quarts.

`6.08 color(red)(cancel(color(black)("gal"))) × "4 qt"/(1color(red)(cancel(color(black)(" gal")))) = "24.32 qt"`

2. Convert quarts to millilitres.

`24.32 color(red)(cancel(color(black)("qt"))) ×"946 mL"/(1 color(red)(cancel(color(black)("qt")))) = "23 000 mL"` (3 significant figures)

The volume is `2.30 × 10^4 color(white)(l)"mL"`.
