Question

Alessia fills her baby pool with 75 liters of water. How many 1-gallon containers will it take for her to fill the pool with the same amount of water?

1 L = 0.26 gal

19.5 one-gallon containers

16.5 one-gallon containers

26.5 one-gallon containers

15.0 one-gallon containers

Answer 1

Answer: It will take 19.5 one-gallon containers

Explanation: We know that 1 liter is 0.26 gallons

All we need to do is to make a ratio

1 75
---- -----
0.26 ?

We need to do what we did on the top (times 75 to get 75) on the bottom (times 75 to get 19.5)

Hope this helps!
