Answer : The volume in gallons will be [tex]1.3\times 10^3\text{ gallons}[/tex]
Explanation :
The conversion used volume from liters to gallons is :
1 gallon = 3.78541 L
or,
[tex]1\text{ liter}=\frac{1}{3.78541}\text{ gallon}[/tex]
As we are given that the lung capacity of the blue whale is 5100 L. Now we have to convert the volume into gallons.
As, [tex]1\text{ liter}=\frac{1}{3.78541}\text{ gallon}[/tex]
So, [tex]5100\text{ liter}=\frac{5100\text{ liter}}{1\text{ liter}}\frac{1}{3.78541}\text{ gallon}=1.3\times 10^3\text{ gallons}[/tex]
Therefore, the volume in gallons will be [tex]1.3\times 10^3\text{ gallons}[/tex]
