Chapter 1, Problem 59c
Perform the following conversions: (c) \$1.89/gal to dollars per liter
Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the conversion factors needed: 1 gallon = 3.78541 liters.
Set up the conversion by writing the given value, \$1.89/gal, and multiply it by the conversion factor to cancel out gallons.
The setup will look like this: \$1.89/gal * (1 gal / 3.78541 L).
Perform the multiplication to convert the units from dollars per gallon to dollars per liter.
Ensure the units are correct and the final expression is in dollars per liter.

Key Concepts
Here are the essential concepts you must grasp in order to answer the question correctly.
Unit Conversion
Unit conversion is the process of converting a quantity expressed in one set of units to another. This involves using conversion factors, which are ratios that express how many of one unit are equivalent to another. For example, to convert gallons to liters, one must know that 1 gallon is approximately 3.78541 liters.
