Question

On average, women and girls in developing countries walk 6 kilometers

(approximately 3.5 miles) a day, carrying 20 liters (approximately 42 pounds/20 kgs) of
water. In some areas, it is common for this journey to take more than 15 hours a week. 1
L = 0.26 gal. If you had to carry 20 liters of water, how many gallons would that be
equivalent to?

Answer 1

If I had to carry 20 liters of water, this would equal 5.2 gallons of water.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since on average, women and girls in developing countries walk 6 kilometers (approximately 3.5 miles) a day, carrying 20 liters (approximately 42 pounds / 20 kgs) of water, and in some areas, it is common for this journey to take more than 15 hours a week, knowing that 1 L is equal to 0.26 gal, to determine, if you had to carry 20 liters of water, how many gallons would that be equivalent to, the following calculation must be performed:

20 x 0.26 = X

5.2 = X

Therefore, if I had to carry 20 liters of water, this would equal 5.2 gallons of water.
