A. 3.8 L
B. 378.5 L

D. 37.9 L

Answer :

To convert gallons to liters, we use the conversion factor:

[tex]$$
1 \text{ gal} = 3.78541 \text{ L}.
$$[/tex]

Since we have 10 gallons, the conversion is done by multiplying:

[tex]$$
10 \text{ gal} \times 3.78541 \frac{\text{L}}{\text{gal}} = 37.8541 \text{ L}.
$$[/tex]

Rounding this result to one decimal place gives:

[tex]$$
37.8541 \text{ L} \approx 37.9 \text{ L}.
$$[/tex]

Thus, the correct answer is:

[tex]$$\boxed{37.9 \text{ L}}.$$[/tex]
