Sally consumed 2.5 gallons of water in one day. How many milliliters are equal to 2.5 gallons, if 1 liter = 1,000 milliliters and 1 gallon = 3.785 liters? (Please answer with explanation!)

Answer:

9,462

Explanation:

There are 3.785 liters in a gallon, so Sally consumed 9.4625 liters in that day. Multiplying that by 1,000 milliliters in a liter gives us 9,462.5 milliliters. Sally consumed 9462.5 milliliters in that day. Hope I can help

We start with converting gallons to liters. There are 3.785 liters in a gallon, so Sally consumed 9.4625 liters in that day. Multiplying that by 1,000 milliliters in a liter gives us 9,462.5 milliliters. Sally consumed 9462.5 milliliters in that day. Hope this helps!
