Question

what is the conversion factor for measurement in milliliters to gallons? express your answer using four significant figures. 1 ml = gal

Explanation:

Step1: Recall volume - conversion relationships

We know that 1 gallon = 3.78541 liters and 1 liter = 1000 milliliters.

Step2: Calculate the conversion factor from mL to gal

If 1 gal = 3.78541 L and 1 L=1000 mL, then 1 gal = 3.78541×1000 mL = 3785.41 mL. So, 1 mL=$\frac{1}{3785.41}$ gal.

Step3: Round to four - significant figures

$\frac{1}{3785.41}\approx2.642\times 10^{-4}$ gal.

Answer:

$2.642\times 10^{-4}$
