Which conversion is correct for converting fluid ounces to gallons?

To convert fluid ounces to gallons, the correct conversion involves dividing the number of fluid ounces by 128. This is based on the standard conversion factor where 1 gallon is equal to 128 fluid ounces.

When you have a certain number of fluid ounces and you want to determine how many gallons that represents, you take the total fluid ounces and divide by 128. For instance, if you had 256 fluid ounces, dividing 256 by 128 would show that it equals 2 gallons. This method directly utilizes the conversion relationship between fluid ounces and gallons, allowing you to accurately translate between these two units of volume.

Using this division helps ensure you have the correct measurement in a larger volume unit (gallons) from a smaller unit (fluid ounces), reflecting how many gallons are contained within the total fluid ounces specified.
