Final answer:
To convert 48000 cm³ to gallons, first convert to liters (48 L), then multiple by the pint conversion (1.75 pints/L) to get pints, and finally divide by the number of pints in a gallon (8 pints/gallon) to find that 48000 cm³ is equivalent to 10.5 gallons.
Step-by-step explanation:
The student asked how many gallons are equal to 48000 cm3. First, we should recognize that 1 L is 1000 cm3, so 48000 cm3 equals 48 L. Once we have the volume in liters, we need to use the given information that 1 gallon is 8 pints and 1 liter is equal to 1.75 pints to find the equivalent in gallons.
We can calculate the number of pints first: 48 L × 1.75 pints/L = 84 pints. To find the number of gallons, we divide the total pints by the number of pints in a gallon: 84 pints ÷ 8 pints/gallon = 10.5 gallons. Therefore, 48000 cm3 equals 10.5 gallons.
