<PRE><B>Question 178916</B>

1 Liter =0.264 Gal  divide each side by 0.264
(1/0.264)Liter=1 gal  multiply each side by 5
(5/0.264)Liter=5 gal

0.264=264/1000
5/(264/1000)=
multiply numerator and denominator by 1000/264
5/(264/1000)=5000/264=625/33

So:
5 gal=(625/33) Liters=18.9393 Liters

Actually you can get the answer faster if you divide 5 by 0.264 (Step 3)

Hope this helps---ptaylor</PRE>
