Answer 1

To convert 4.3 gallons to liters, you need to multiply by the conversion factor of approximately 3.75. The closest measurement to the number of liters of paint Yasmine bought is 15 liters.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, look at the table to see how gallons and liters are related. You can see that 1 gallon is approximately 3.79 liters. Now, because you are going from a customary unit to a metric unit, you will need to multiply the given value by the metric equivalent from the table. Keep in mind that 3.79 is approximately 3.75, and 4 times 3.75 is equal to 15.
