Answer: 50,000 Litres

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the proportion that could be use to solve the number of liters if;

1 L =0. 26 gal;

Let x= number of liters in 12,500 gallons

Since 1 L = 0. 26gallon

x =12500gallon

We cross multiply

Then we wil now have;

0. 26 × x =12500 ×1

0. 26x = 12500

Divide bothside by 0. 26

0. 26x/0. 26 = 12500/0. 26

x = 50,000Liters

Therefore, the number of liters in 12,500 gallons is 50,000
