Can someone help me with this? And provide an explanation on how they found their answer? Using conversion factors. I'm confused :(

You have used 3.0×102 L of distilled water for a dialysis patient. How many gallons of water is that?

Answer:

This would be 63 gallons :)

Step-by-step explanation:

The Volume of water = 2.4 × 10² L

The Volume of water in gal = ?

The solution: We know that one gal is equal to 3.785 litter.

So in conclusion, 2.4 × 10²L × 1 gal / 3.785 L

2.4 × 10²L × 0.264 gal. L⁻¹

0.634 × 10² gal

Hopefully this helps :3

63 gal
