Question

A dialysis unit requires $75000mL$ of distilled water. How many gallons of water are needed? (2.6)

Short answer

The number of gallons of water needed is determined as$19.8$gallon

Step-by-step solution

Given Information

The given is the dialysis unit of distilled water .

The objective is to determine the number of gallons of water needed.

The volume of the distilled water is 75,000 mL.

Explanation 

Given:-

Volume of distilled Water $=75,000\mathrm{mL}$

Conversion factor $1\mathrm{qt}=946\mathrm{ml}$

Conversion from $ml$ to $\mathrm{qt}$

$\Rightarrow 75,000\times \frac{\text{lqt}}{946\mathrm{ml}}=79.281183\mathrm{qt}$

Now,

Converting quart to gallon $\Rightarrow 79.281183\mathrm{qt}\times \frac{\text{gallon}}{4\mathrm{qt}}$

$=19.8$ gallon (Rounding off three significant figures)
