(b) The lung capacity of the blue whale is 5.0×10 3 L. Convert this volume into gallons.

Hi everyone today, we have a question telling us that the bag used to store of the blood donated by individuals approximately one type and volume. And our goal here is to convert this into leaders so one point Equals 473 ml. And now that we know that we can put it into equations, so we have one pint Times 473 ml over one pie times one leader Over 10 to the 3rd ml and our pints are going to cancel out and our milliliters are going to cancel out. And that equals 0. leaders. And that is our final answer. Thank you for watching. Bye.

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 unit to another unit. In this case, we need to convert liters to gallons. Understanding the conversion factors between different units is essential for accurate calculations, as it allows for the correct interpretation of measurements in various contexts.

Volume Measurement

Volume is a measure of the amount of space an object or substance occupies. It is commonly measured in liters (L) in the metric system and gallons in the imperial system. Knowing how to measure and compare volumes in different units is crucial for applications in chemistry, biology, and environmental science.

Gallons and Liters Relationship

The relationship between gallons and liters is defined by specific conversion factors. One gallon is approximately equal to 3.78541 liters. Understanding this relationship is vital for converting volumes accurately, especially when dealing with large quantities, such as the lung capacity of a blue whale.
