Conversion Factor:
To convert liters to US gallons, we use the following conversion factor:
- 1 liter = 0.264172 gallons (US)
This factor allows us to convert a quantity in liters to its equivalent in gallons.
Step-by-Step Conversion:
You are looking to convert 10 liters to gallons. The formula for the conversion is:
Gallons=Liters×0.264172
Here, you are given that Liters = 10, so the calculation would be: Gallons=10liters×0.264172gallons/literGallons=2.64172gallonsGallons=2.64172gallons
Conclusion:
Thus, 10 liters is approximately equal to 2.64 US gallons.
Additional Notes:
- US Gallons and Imperial Gallons are different units. The conversion factor I used is for US gallons. If you’re interested in Imperial gallons (used primarily in the UK), the conversion factor is different:
- 1 liter = 0.219969 Imperial gallons.
For 10 liters, it would be:
So, 10 liters is approximately 2.20 Imperial gallons.
- The calculation assumes the use of the US gallon (which is most commonly used in the U.S. and some other countries).
