Answer:

37.9 liters

Explanation:

Multiply the number of gallons by 3.785 to convert to liters

Multiplying by ten moves the decimal point over to the right

3.785 * 10 = 37.85

The tenths place is where the 8 is, and since 5 is
\geq (greater than or equal to) 5 that makes the 8 round up to a 9

resulting in...

10 gallons = 37.9 liters

hope this helps:)
