Answer:

In a gallon there are approximately 3.79 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

The rule of three or is a way of solving problems of proportionality between three known values and an unknown value, establishing a relationship of proportionality between all of them.

If the relationship between the magnitudes is direct, that is, when one magnitude increases, so does the other ( or when one magnitude decreases, so does the other), the direct rule of three must be applied. To solve a direct rule of three, the following formula must be followed:

a ⇒ b

c ⇒ x

Then

$x=\frac{c*b}{a}$

Taking into account that there are 128 fluid ounces in a gallon, you can determine how many liters are in a gallon by applying a rule of three as follows: If there are 33.8 fluid ounces in a liter, how many liters are in 128 fluid ounces (a gallon)?

$liters=\frac{128 fluid ounces*1 liter}{33.8 fluid ounces}$
