Answer: 19.81 gallons

Explanation:

Given : A dialysis unit requires 75000 mL of distilled water.

We know that 1 gallon= 4 quarts

and 1 quart= 946.353 ml

Then, 1 gallon =
4*946.353=3785.412 milliliter.

Using Unitary method ,

$\text{1 milliliter = }(1)/(3785.412)\text{ gallon}$

Then,
$\text{75000 milliliters = }(75000)/(3785.412)\text{ gallon}$

$=19.8129132643\approx19.81\text{ gallons}$

Hence, 19.81 gallons water is needed.
