How many liters are in 8 gal? Conversion factors: 1 L = 1 qt, and 4 qt = 1 gal. Show all work using dimensional analysis
First, we need to convert gallons to quarts using the conversion factor: 1 gal = 4 qt.
So, 8 gal = 8 * 4 qt = 32 qt.
Next, we can convert quarts to liters using the conversion factor: 1 L = 1 qt.
Therefore, 32 qt = 32 L.
Thus, there are 32 liters in 8 gallons.
To convert gallons to liters using dimensional analysis, we can set up the following conversion factors:
1 L = 1 qt
and
4 qt = 1 gal
We can use these conversion factors to set up the following equation:
8 gal * (4 qt/1 gal) * (1 L/1 qt)
Now, we can cancel out the units:
8 * 4 * 1 L
This simplifies to:
32 L
Therefore, there are 32 liters in 8 gallons.
