Answers:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

a) Convert 41 litres to gallons:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the graph, locate 41 litres on the x-axis. Trace vertically until you meet the blue line, then move horizontally to the y-axis to read the corresponding number of gallons.
\u27a1\ufe0f 41 litres \u2248 9 gallons<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

b) Convert 3.5 gallons to litres:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Locate 3.5 gallons on the y-axis. Trace horizontally to the blue line, then drop down vertically to the x-axis to find the equivalent in litres.
\u27a1\ufe0f 3.5 gallons \u2248 16 litres<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Explanation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This graph illustrates the linear relationship between litres (x-axis) and gallons (y-axis). A straight line through the origin indicates a constant rate of conversion between the two units. When interpreting such a graph, the slope of the line represents the conversion factor. The steeper the slope, the more litres are required per gallon, or vice versa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In question (a), we are given 41 litres and need to find the equivalent in gallons. By tracing the 41-litre mark upward until it intersects the blue line, and then moving leftward to the y-axis, we observe that 41 litres corresponds to approximately 9 gallons. This process reflects how a graph can convert between units without performing mathematical calculations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In question (b), we start with 3.5 gallons on the y-axis. Tracing this across to the blue line and then down to the x-axis, we find that 3.5 gallons is roughly equal to 16 litres. This visual method is particularly useful for checking approximate conversions when precision to the decimal point is not required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mathematically, we can determine the conversion factor using known points. For example, from the graph:
50 litres = 11 gallons
So, the conversion factor from litres to gallons is 11 \u00f7 50 = 0.22 gallons per litre<\/strong>.
And from gallons to litres: 50 \u00f7 11 \u2248 4.55 litres per gallon<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These conversion factors verify our graph-based answers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • 41 litres \u00d7 0.22 \u2248 9.02 gallons<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 3.5 gallons \u00d7 4.55 \u2248 15.93 litres<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Thus, the graph provides an accurate visual tool for unit conversion based on proportional relationships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
