How to Convert Imperial Gallons to US Gallons
Example: How many US gallons are equivalent to 9.09 imperial gallons?
As;
1 imperial gallons = 1.2 US gallons
9.09 imperial gallons = Y US gallons
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 9.09 times 1.2 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 9.09 * 1.2 / 1 = 10.908 US gallons
Answer is: 10.908 US gallons are equivalent to 9.09 imperial gallons.
