A barrel of U.S. oil is 42 gallons. How many liters is this? Round off to the nearest whole number. Note: 1 gallon = 4 quarts. Strategy: you must convert from gallons quarts liters. Use two conversion factors ( 1 gallon = 4 quarts )

Answer:

158 liters.

Explanation:

G=gallons

L=Liters

Q=Quarts

42G * 4Q = 168Q

1Q = 3.785L

3.785L * 42G = 158L or another way is to go by the formula is by dividing the volume value by 1.057:

168Q divide by 1.057 = 158
