Question

If there are about 30 milliliters in 1 fluid ounce, how many milliliters are contained in a gallon of milk that has 128 fluid ounces?

a) 3,840 milliliters
b) 3,840,000 milliliters
c) 3,840,000,000 milliliters
d) 38,400 milliliters

Answer 1

To determine how many milliliters are in a gallon of milk, multiply the number of fluid ounces in a gallon (128) by the number of milliliters in one fluid ounce (30), which equals 3,840 milliliters.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking how many milliliters are in a gallon of milk if there are 128 fluid ounces in that gallon and we know that there are about 30 milliliters in 1 fluid ounce. To find the total number of milliliters, we need to multiply the number of fluid ounces by the number of milliliters per fluid ounce, which is a unit conversion from ounces to milliliters.

• First, we establish that 1 fluid ounce is equivalent to 30 milliliters.
• Next, since we have 128 fluid ounces in a gallon, we multiply 128 by 30 to find the total milliliters.
• 128 fluid ounces * 30 milliliters/fluid ounce = 3,840 milliliters.

Therefore, the correct answer is (a) 3,840 milliliters.
