Answer:

2.5 ML

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Convert gallons to litres

There are 3.785 L in 1 US gal.


\text{No. of litres} = \text{660 000 gal} * \frac{\text{3.785 L}}{\text{1 gal}} = \text{2 500 000 L}

2. Convert litres to megalitres


\text{No. of megalitres} = \text{2 500 000 L} * \frac{\text{1 ML}}{\text{1 000 000 L}} = \textbf{2.5 ML}
