Answer 3

1 gallon = 4 quarts
1 quart = 1.06 litre
16.5 gallons = \(16.5~gallons \times 4 \frac{quarts}{gallon}\)
\(=16.5~gallons \times 4 \frac{quarts}{gallon}\times 1.06\frac{litres}{quart}\)
\(=16.5\times 4\times 1.06 ~litres\)
You'll need a calculator to complete your answer.

Answer 4

so i use my calculator to do that last equation? 16.5*4*1.06?

Answer 5

But please make sure you understand why and how the answer was obtained.
From general knowledge, 1 gallon = 4 quarts, i.e. there are 4 quarts/gallon.
Similarly, 1 quart=1.06 litres, or there are 1.06 litres/quart.
What was written above will have all the units (gallons and quarts) cancelled except litre.
So the final answer is 16.5*4*1.06 litres.

Answer 6

1 litre=1.06 quart
1 quart=1.06 litre ?
1 galon=3.785 litres
16.5 galons=3.785*16.5=?
