Use the ratio 1 gallon equals about 3,785 milliliters. A container holds 34,065 milliliters. How many gallons does the container hold?(1 point)
To find the number of gallons the container holds, we can divide the volume of the container in milliliters by the conversion factor from milliliters to gallons.
34,065 milliliters / 3,785 milliliters/gallon = 9 gallons
Therefore, the container holds 9 gallons.
Use the conversion ratio 1 kilometer equals about 0.62 miles to solve the following problem. An airplane travels about 900 kilometers per hour. What is the airplane’s speed in miles per hour?(1 point)
To find the airplane's speed in miles per hour, we can multiply its speed in kilometers per hour by the conversion factor from kilometers to miles.
900 kilometers/hour * 0.62 miles/kilometer ≈ 558 miles/hour
Therefore, the airplane's speed is approximately 558 miles per hour.
Leo designs a piece of jewelry in the shape of a regular pentagon. Each side of the object measures 3 centimeters. Leo photographs the object, enlarges it so that the sides each measure 8 centimeters, and prints the photo. What scale factor did Leo use to create the photograph from the original?
To find the scale factor that Leo used to create the photograph from the original, we can divide the length of the side in the photograph by the length of the corresponding side in the original.
8 centimeters / 3 centimeters ≈ 2.67
Therefore, Leo used a scale factor of approximately 2.67 to create the photograph from the original.
To find out how many gallons the container holds, we need to convert the milliliters to gallons using the given ratio.
The given ratio states that 1 gallon is equal to about 3,785 milliliters.
To convert milliliters to gallons, we can use the formula:
Number of gallons = Number of milliliters / Conversion factor
In this case, the number of milliliters is 34,065 and the conversion factor is 3,785.
Number of gallons = 34,065 / 3,785
Let's calculate:
Number of gallons ≈ 9
Therefore, the container holds approximately 9 gallons.
