Question

A cafeteria made 28.5 liters of lemonade. How many gallons of lemonade did the cafeteria make? (1 gallon is approximately 3.8 liters)

Answer 1

7.5 gallons

Explanation:

We know that 1 gal = 3.8 L, and we have 28.5 L. So, set up a proportion:

1 gal / 3.8 L = x gal / 28.5 L , where x is the number of gallons the cafeteria made

Cross-multiply:

1 * 28.5 = 3.8 * x

28.5 = 3.8x

Divide by 3.8:

x = 28.5 / 3.8 = 7.5 gallons
