PROBLEM

Convert 1.000×103 cm31.000 \times 10^{3} \mathrm{~cm}^{3} of water to gallons using 1 cm3=1 mL1 \mathrm{~cm}^{3}=1 \mathrm{~mL} and 1 L=0.2641 \mathrm{~L}=0.264 gallons.

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The volume of water is 1.000×103 cm31.000 \times10^{3} \mathrm{~cm}^{3}
. The conversion factor from cubic centimeters to milliliters is 1 cm3=1 m1 \mathrm{~cm}^{3}=1 \mathrm{~m}
3. The conversion factor from liters to gallons is 1 =0.2641 \mathrm{~}=0.264 gallons4. All unit conversions are treated as exact numbers, meaning they have infinite significant figures.

STEP 2

First, we need to convert the volume of water from cubic centimeters to milliliters using the conversion factor.
Volume_{m} = Volume_{cm^} \times Conversion\, factor_{cm^\, to\, mL}

STEP 3

Now, plug in the given values for the volume and the conversion factor to calculate the volume in milliliters.
Volumem=1.000×103 cm3×1 m/cm3Volume_{m} =1.000 \times10^{3} \mathrm{~cm}^{3} \times1 \mathrm{~m/cm}^{3}

STEP 4

Calculate the volume in milliliters.
Volumem=1.000×103 mVolume_{m} =1.000 \times10^{3} \mathrm{~m}

STEP 5

Next, we need to convert the volume from milliliters to liters. Since there are1000 milliliters in a liter, we can do this by dividing the volume in milliliters by1000.
Volume=Volumem/1000Volume_{} = Volume_{m} /1000

STEP 6

Plug in the value for the volume in milliliters to calculate the volume in liters.
Volume=1.000×103 m/1000Volume_{} =1.000 \times10^{3} \mathrm{~m} /1000

STEP 7

Calculate the volume in liters.
Volume=1.000 Volume_{} =1.000 \mathrm{~}

STEP 8

Finally, we need to convert the volume from liters to gallons using the conversion factor.
Volumegallons=Volume×ConversionfactortogallonsVolume_{gallons} = Volume_{} \times Conversion\, factor_{\, to\, gallons}

STEP 9

Plug in the values for the volume in liters and the conversion factor to calculate the volume in gallons.
Volumegallons=.000 ×.264 gallons/LVolume_{gallons} =.000 \mathrm{~} \times.264 \mathrm{~gallons/L}

SOLUTION

Calculate the volume in gallons.
Volumegallons=.000×0.264 gallons=0.264 gallonsVolume_{gallons} =.000 \times0.264 \mathrm{~gallons} =0.264 \mathrm{~gallons}You have0.264 gallons of water.
