Question

There are 33.8 fluid ounces in a liter. There are 128 fluid ounces in a gallon. About how many liters are In a gallon

Answer 1

about 3.78 3.78698225 given those numbers

Explanation:

Answer 2

In a gallon there are approximately 3.79 liters

Explanation:

The rule of three or is a way of solving problems of proportionality between three known values and an unknown value, establishing a relationship of proportionality between all of them.

If the relationship between the magnitudes is direct, that is, when one magnitude increases, so does the other ( or when one magnitude decreases, so does the other), the direct rule of three must be applied. To solve a direct rule of three, the following formula must be followed:

a ⇒ b

c ⇒ x

Then

`x=(c*b)/(a)`

Taking into account that there are 128 fluid ounces in a gallon, you can determine how many liters are in a gallon by applying a rule of three as follows: If there are 33.8 fluid ounces in a liter, how many liters are in 128 fluid ounces (a gallon)?

`liters=(128 fluid ounces*1 liter)/(33.8 fluid ounces)`

liters= 3.79 liters

Then, in a gallon there are approximately 3.79 liters
