Answer:

Use proportions to find the gallon equivalent of 117 L:

[tex]\frac{1gal}{4.5L} =\frac{Xgal}{117L}[/tex]

Cross-multiply & solve:

[tex]4.5x=117\\x=26[/tex]

So 117 L = 26 gallons

Out of 300 gallons, it's

[tex]\frac{26}{300} =\frac{2(13)}{2(150)} =\frac{13}{150}[/tex]

I hope this is how you're suppose to solve it..
