In gardening, we often need to measure different amounts of water or plant food. Today, let’s talk about how we can change milliliters (ml) into gallons, which is another way to measure liquid.
Here’s the cool part: there are many different units of measurement for liquids. One milliliter is a tiny amount, while a gallon is much larger. To find out how many gallons are in those 85 ml, we’ll do some math!
First, we need to know that:
- 1 gallon is equal to 3,785 milliliters.
Now, to convert 85 ml into gallons, we can use the following equation:
$$
\text{gallons} = \frac{85 \text{ ml}}{3,785 \text{ ml/gallon}}
$$
Calculating that gives us approximately:
$$
\text{gallons} \approx 0.0224 \text{ gallons}
$$
This means that 85 ml is a small fraction of a gallon!
For you to better understand this measurement, here are 7 examples of objects that hold exactly 85 ml:
- A small shot glass.
- A single pack of ketchup from a fast-food restaurant.
- A small medicine cup that you might use for cough syrup.
- A standard espresso cup.
- A travel-sized shampoo bottle.
- About half of a small yogurt container.
- A small container of salad dressing.
Next time you’re watering your plants or mixing fertilizers, you can think about how 85 ml is just a tiny bit when we talk about gallons! 🌱
