If you have drums that hold 60 gallons and you need to ship 5,300 liters of liquid, how many drums will you need?

(Remember, 1 liter = 0.26 gallons.)

Answer :

5300 liters x .26 liter/gallon = 1378 gallons. This is what you need to hold in gallons
Then 1378 gallons/ 60 gallons/drum= 22.96 drums.
Since each can only hold 60 gallons maximum you round up to 23 drums

hope this helped!!
