Q.
One liter is approximately equal to 0.26 gallons. Find the volume rounded to the nearest hundredth of a gallon of a container that holds approximately 5.5 liters.

Answer 1

`\bf \begin{array}{ccll} liters&gallons\\ \cline{1-2} 1&0.26\\ 5.5&x \end{array}\implies \cfrac{1}{5.5}=\cfrac{0.26}{x}\implies x=(5.5)(0.26)\implies x=1.43`
