Hey there, junior gardener! Today, we’re going to talk about measurement. When you’re gardening, sometimes you need to know how much water to use or how much soil to buy. So let’s learn how to convert liters to gallons!
Liters and gallons are both ways to measure volume or how much space something can take up, like a watering can or a garden plot. In the metric system, we often use liters (like in a bottle of soda), but in the U.S., we sometimes talk about gallons (like in a milk jug).
To convert liters to gallons, you can use a simple rule. One liter is about 0.264 gallons. So if we want to find out how many gallons are in 90 liters, we can multiply:
$$
90 \text{ liters} \times 0.264 \text{ gallons/liter} \approx 23.76 \text{ gallons}
$$
This means that 90 liters is approximately 23.76 gallons! Knowing these measurements can help you with watering your plants or figuring out how much mulch you need for your garden.
Here are 7 objects that are exactly equal to 90 liters (or about 23.76 gallons):
- Two and a quarter 40-liter buckets – If your big bucket can hold 40 liters, you would need two full buckets and a bit more.
- Three standard 30-liter containers with a little over 3 liters extra.
- Nineteen 5-liter watering cans – Perfect for watering all your plants!
- One 90-liter fish tank – That’s a home for lots of fish!
- Five 18-liter garden bags of soil – Great for filling your garden beds!
- Twelve 7.5-liter pots for your favorite plants.
- One large 90-liter rain barrel to collect water from your roof!
So next time you’re out in the garden, remember how to measure, and keep growing those green thumbs! Happy gardening!
