Answer
250 L of water is equal to 66 gallons of water.
Work Step by Step
1. Identify the conversion factors.
- We need to convert from "L" to "gallons".
Looking at the table 2.7 (Page 38), we can see that:
$1 gal = 4 qt$
$1 L = 1.06 qt$
2. Calculate the value of alcohol in milliliters, using the conversion factors:
$250 L \times \frac{1.06 qt}{1L} \times \frac{1gal}{4qt} = 66.25 gal$
3. Adjust the number to the correct number of significant figures.
- The used number that has the fewest number of significant figures is "250", with 2. Therefore, the result of the multiplication must have 2 SFs.
66.25 gal= 66 gal
