Answer:

Carl buys 132.475 liters of water.

Explanation:

Since Carl buys seven 5-gallon jugs of water multiply 7 by 5 to know how many gallons of water Carl bought in total.

7(5) = 35 Gallons

Now that you have the total amount of gallons of water Carl bought you have to convert 35 gallons to liters given that 1 gallon = 3.785 liters by multiplying 35 by 3.785.

35(3.785) = 132.475

So Carl bought 132.475 liters of water.

Though that is the answer based on what is given a gallon is actually equal to 3.78541 liters so the exact answer would be 132.489 liters of water.
