Question

When Coca-Cola was originally released in 1885, it contained small amounts of cocaine and was colored green. The size of a Coca-Cola can is 355 ml. Convert this into gallons. (0.094 gal)

Answer 1

To convert 355 mL to gallons, divide the volume by 3,785, which gives approximately 0.094 gallons. This shows that a can of Coca-Cola is just under a tenth of a gallon.

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert 355 milliliters (mL) to gallons, we use the conversion factor that 1 gallon is approximately equivalent to 3,785 milliliters. To perform this conversion, divide the volume in milliliters by the number of milliliters in one gallon.

Here’s the calculation:

• 355 mL ÷ 3,785 mL/gal = 0.0938 gal

Therefore, a 355 mL can of Coca-Cola is equivalent to approximately 0.094 gallons.

Remembering a few approximate conversions can be helpful: an eyedropper holds about 1 milliliter, a juice box holds about 250 milliliters (or 25 centiliters), and a soda bottle usually holds about 1 liter (1,000 milliliters).
