Gallons to Litres conversion

How to convert gallons to litres?

Gallons is indeed a unit of volume traditionally used primarily in the United States. To convert gallons to liters, you can use the conversion factor where 1 US gallon is approximately equal to 3.78541 liters.

Here's the formula for converting gallons to liters: $\text{Liters} = \text{Gallons} \times 3.78541$

So, to convert 1 gallon to liters: $1 \text{ Gallon} \times 3.78541 \text{ (Liters per Gallon)} = 3.78541 \text{ Liters}$

Now, let's look at some real-world examples of other quantities in gallons and their conversion to liters:

1. Fuel Tank of a Car:

   • If a car has a fuel tank capacity of 15 gallons, you can convert it to liters as follows: $15 \text{ Gallons} \times 3.78541 = 56.78115 \text{ Liters}$

2. Water for a Household:

   • Suppose a household uses about 50 gallons of water per day. To find out how many liters this is: $50 \text{ Gallons} \times 3.78541 = 189.2705 \text{ Liters}$

3. Swimming Pool:

   • If a swimming pool holds 10,000 gallons of water, the volume in liters would be: $10,000 \text{ Gallons} \times 3.78541 = 37,854.1 \text{ Liters}$

4. Brewing Beer (Keg Size):

   • A standard beer keg in the U.S. holds 15.5 gallons. To convert this to liters: $15.5 \text{ Gallons} \times 3.78541 = 58.669855 \text{ Liters}$

These examples should give you a good sense of how gallon-to-liter conversions are commonly used in various real-world contexts.
