Question

a tank has 34.11 liters (l) of gas. how much gas does the tank hold in gallons (gal)? fill in the blank on the left - side of the equation using one of the ratios. then write your answer on the right - side of the equation. ratios: $\frac{1\text{ c}}{236.59\text{ ml}}$, $\frac{236.59\text{ ml}}{1\text{ c}}$, $\frac{1\text{ gal}}{3.79\text{ l}}$, $\frac{3.79\text{ l}}{1\text{ gal}}$, $\frac{1\text{ pt}}{473.18\text{ ml}}$, $\frac{473.18\text{ ml}}{1\text{ pt}}$. $\frac{34.11\text{ l}}{1}\timessquare=square\text{ gal}$

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the conversion ratio

We know the conversion ratio between liters and gallons is $\frac{1\ gal}{3.79\ L}$.

Step2: Perform the conversion

We have $34.11$ liters of gas. To convert liters to gallons, we multiply the number of liters by the conversion - factor. So, $34.11\ L\times\frac{1\ gal}{3.79\ L}$.
The liters unit cancels out, and we get $\frac{34.11}{3.79}\ gal$.
$34.11\div3.79 = 9$ gal.

Answer:

$9$
