Answer 1

0.2579 m³

Step-by-step explanation:

The given unit, firkin has a relation with the gallons as:

1 firkin = 9 gallons

The relation bewteen gallons and m³ is shown below as:

`1\ gallon=\frac {1}{264.172 }\ m^3`

So,

`1\ firkin =\frac {9}{264.172 }\ m^3`

To find how many m³ in 7.57 firkins.

So,

`7.57\ firkins =\frac {9}{264.172 }* 7.57\ m^3`

So, 7.57 firkins = 0.2579 m³
