What is a Liter?
A liter is a way to measure how much space a liquid takes up. In gardening, you might use liters to measure how much water you are giving your plants.
What is a Gallon?
A gallon is another measurement for liquids, and it is often used in places like the United States. It is bigger than a liter, so we need to know how to convert liters to gallons to understand how much water we have.
Converting Liters to Gallons
To convert liters to gallons, we can use this equation:
$$
1 \text{ liter} \approx 0.264 \text{ gallons}
$$
Now, if we want to convert 1.9 liters to gallons, we can multiply:
$$
1.9 \text{ liters} \times 0.264 \text{ gallons/liter} \approx 0.5016 \text{ gallons}
$$
So, 1.9 liters is approximately 0.5016 gallons.
