To determine how many 1.5-liter bottles of water equal 1 gallon, we can use the following steps:
Step 1: Understand the conversion factor
- 1 gallon (US) = 3.78541 liters
Step 2: Divide the number of liters in 1 gallon by the size of one bottle
We have a 1.5-liter bottle, so we divide the number of liters in 1 gallon by the size of the bottle:
3.78541 liters ÷1.5 liters per bottle=2.5236
Step 3: Interpret the result
This means that approximately 2.52 bottles of 1.5 liters are needed to equal 1 gallon.
Final Answer:
It takes about 2.52 bottles of 1.5 liters each to equal 1 gallon.
Since it’s not possible to have a fraction of a bottle, you would need 3 bottles if you want to have at least 1 gallon of water.
