Converting Liters to Gallons
To understand how to convert liters to gallons, let’s look at the numbers.
1 liter is approximately equal to 0.264 gallons. So, if we have 8 liters, we can find out how many gallons that is by using a simple equation:
$$
\text{Gallons} = \text{Liters} \times 0.264
$$
In this case, we plug in 8 for liters:
$$
\text{Gallons} = 8 \times 0.264
$$
Doing the math gives us:
$$
\text{Gallons} \approx 2.11
$$
So, 8 liters is about 2.11 gallons.
