• 1 liter is approximately 0.26 gallons.

Now, the container holds 107.2 liters approximately. To know this volume in gallons, we just need to transform using the given ratio
`1L=0.26gal`

So, if 1 liter is around 0.26 gallons, how much gallons would be 107.2 liters?

`x=107.2L(0.26gal)/(1L) =27.9 gal`

Therefore, the container holds around 27.9 gallons.
