Solution

Solution Steps

To convert gallons to liters, we use the conversion factor 1 gallon = 3.78541 liters. Given the number of gallons, we multiply it by this conversion factor to get the equivalent volume in liters. Finally, we round the result to the desired number of decimal places.

Step 1: Convert Gallons to Liters

To convert the volume from gallons to liters, we use the conversion factor $ 1 \, \text{gallon} = 3.78541 \, \text{liters} $. Given that we have $ 185,000 $ gallons, we calculate the volume in liters as follows:

\[ \text{liters} = 185,000 \, \text{gallons} \times 3.78541 \, \text{liters/gallon} = 700300.85 \, \text{liters} \]

Step 2: Round the Result

Next, we round the result to four decimal places:

\[ \text{liters rounded} = 700300.85 \]
