Thus, the amount of oil is 0.28 L.

(B). The given value of quantity of milk is,

`\begin{gathered} V=5\text{ qt} \\ V=5*946.4 \\ V=4731.76 \\ V=4731.8cm^3 \end{gathered}`

Thus, the amount of the milk is 4731.8 cubic centimeters.

(C). The amount of the gasoline is,

`\begin{gathered} V=2\text{ gal} \\ V=2*3785.41 \\ V=7570.82cm^3 \end{gathered}`

Thus, the amount of the gasoline is 7570.82 cubic centimeters.
