Answer 1

1 liter × 0.2642 gallons liter × 33.817 fluid ounces gallon.

Explanation:

Given:

1 gallon = 3.785 liters

We need to find how many fluid of ounce are there in 1 liter.

First we will find number of gallons in 1 liter.

We know that;

3.785 liters = 1 gallons

1 liters = number of gallons in 1 liter.

By using Unitary method we get;

number of gallons in 1 liter =
`(1)/(3.785)= 0.2642\ gallons`

Now we know that:

1 gallons = 128 fluid ounce

So 0.2642 gallons = Number of fluid ounce in 0.2642 gallons

Again by using Unitary method we get;

Number of fluid ounce in 0.2642 gallons =
`128 * 0.2642\approx 33.817\ oz`

Hence we can say,

1 liter ×0.2642 gallons liter × 33.817 fluid ounces gallon.
