Hey there! Today we’re going to learn about how to measure liquids using two different units: liters and gallons. This is especially useful when you’re working in the garden and need to know how much water you have for your plants!
A liter is a metric unit that is commonly used in many parts of the world. A gallon, on the other hand, is often used in the United States. If you’re trying to figure out how much water you need for your garden and you’ve got your measurements in liters, you might need to convert to gallons, especially if you’re reading a container marked in gallons.
To convert 20 liters into gallons, we can use the conversion that says:
$$
1 \text{ liter} \approx 0.264172 \text{ gallons}
$$
So, to find out how many gallons are in 20 liters, we can multiply:
$$
20 \text{ liters} \times 0.264172 \text{ gallons/liter} \approx 5.28344 \text{ gallons}
$$
This means that 20 liters is approximately 5.28 gallons. Great, right? Now you know how to convert between these two!
Here are 7 objects that are exactly equal to 20 liters:
- A medium-sized fish tank usually holds about 20 liters of water.
- A large bucket used for gardening can often contain 20 liters.
- A standard soda bottle (if you have 20 large ones) can equal 20 liters in total.
- A typical backpack sprayer for applying liquids in the garden may hold around 20 liters.
- An average cooler filled with drinks can be around 20 liters.
- Five 4-liter milk jugs will add up to 20 liters.
- A watering can designed for large gardens may also hold 20 liters of liquid.
Now you’re all set to mix more gardening magic with proper measurements! 🌱
