Final answer:
To find the weight of 0.500 gallon of milk, convert the volume to liters and multiply by the density of milk in grams per milliliter. Then convert the weight from grams to kilograms.
Step-by-step explanation:
In an experiment, you weighed 0.500 gallon of milk and found the weight. To convert gallons to kilograms, we need to know the density of milk. The density of milk can vary, but on average it is around 1.03 grams per milliliter. Therefore, to find the weight of 0.500 gallon of milk, we can multiply the volume in liters by the density in grams per milliliter and then convert the result to kilograms.
First, we need to convert gallons to liters. There are 3.78541 liters in a gallon, so 0.500 gallon is equal to 0.500 x 3.78541 = 1.892705 liters.
Next, we multiply the volume in liters by the density in grams per milliliter. Since there are 1000 milliliters in a liter, we can convert the density from grams per milliliter to kilograms per liter by dividing it by 1000. Therefore, the weight in kilograms is 1.892705 liters x 1.03 grams per milliliter / 1000 kilograms per liter = 0.00194746535 kilograms.
