Question

A dialysis unit requires 60000 mL of distilled water. How many gallons of water are needed? (1 gal = 4 qt)

Answer 1

It is 16 gallons in 1 quart

Answer 2

Answer : The water needed are 15.85 gallons.

Explanation :

The conversion used for volume form milliliters to gallons are:

`1\text{ gallon}=3785.41mL`

or,

`1mL=(1)/(3785.41)\text{ gallon}`

As we are given that the volume of water 60000 mL. Now we have to calculate the volume of water in gallons.

As,
`1mL=(1)/(3785.41)\text{ gallon}`

So,
`60000mL=(60000mL)/(1mL)* (1)/(3785.41)\text{ gallon}=15.85\text{ gallons}`

Therefore, the water needed are 15.85 gallons.
