A dialysis unit requires 60000 mL of distilled water. How many gallons of water are needed? (1 gal = 4 qt)
Answer : The water needed are 15.85 gallons.
Explanation :
The conversion used for volume form milliliters to gallons are:
\(1\text{ gallon}=3785.41mL\)
or,
\(1mL=\frac{1}{3785.41}\text{ gallon}\)
As we are given that the volume of water 60000 mL. Now we have to calculate the volume of water in gallons.
As, \(1mL=\frac{1}{3785.41}\text{ gallon}\)
So, \(60000mL=\frac{60000mL}{1mL}\times \frac{1}{3785.41}\text{ gallon}=15.85\text{ gallons}\)
Therefore, the water needed are 15.85 gallons.
