How to Convert US Gallons to Imperial Gallons
Example: How many imperial gallons are equivalent to 52.63 US gallons?
As;
1 US gallons = 0.832701 imperial gallons
52.63 US gallons = Y imperial gallons
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 52.63 times 0.832701 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 52.63 * 0.832701 / 1 = 43.82505363 imperial gallons
Answer is: 43.82505363 imperial gallons are equivalent to 52.63 US gallons.
