Possible intermediate steps

Convert from gallons into kilograms: 1 gal of H_2O (water) Convert from gallons to cubic centimeters using the relation 1 gallon = 3785 cm^3 (cubic centimeters): (1 gal)/1 × (3785 cm^3)/(1 gal) = 3785 cm^3 Convert to grams using the density 1 g/cm^3 (gram per cubic centimeter) at STP of H_2O: (3785 cm^3)/1 × (1 g)/(1 cm^3) = 3785 g Convert to kilograms using the relation 1000 g (grams) = 1 kg (kilogram): Answer: |   | (3785 g)/1 × (1 kg)/(1000 g) = 3.785 kg
