Answer : The volume in gallons will be
1.3* 10^3\text{ gallons}

Explanation :

The conversion used volume from liters to gallons is :

1 gallon = 3.78541 L

or,


1\text{ liter}=(1)/(3.78541)\text{ gallon}

As we are given that the lung capacity of the blue whale is 5100 L. Now we have to convert the volume into gallons.

As,
1\text{ liter}=(1)/(3.78541)\text{ gallon}

So,
5100\text{ liter}=\frac{5100\text{ liter}}{1\text{ liter}}(1)/(3.78541)\text{ gallon}=1.3* 10^3\text{ gallons}

Therefore, the volume in gallons will be
1.3* 10^3\text{ gallons}
