48 liters is equivalent to 12.6802585131911 US gallons.
We know (by definition) that: 1 liter ≈ 0.264172052358148 usgallon
We can set up a proportion to solve for the number of US gallons.
1 liter 48 liter ≈ 0.264172052358148 usgallon x usgallonNow, we cross multiply to solve for our unknown x:
x usgallon ≈ 48 liter 1 liter * 0.264172052358148 usgallon → x usgallon ≈ 12.680258513191104 usgallonConclusion: 48 liter ≈ 12.680258513191104 usgallon
The inverse of the conversion factor is that 1 US gallon is equal to 0.0788627455 times 48 liters.
It can also be expressed as: 48 liters is equal to 1 0.0788627455 US gallons.
Approximation
An approximate numerical result would be: forty-eight liters is about twelve point six seven US gallons, or alternatively, a US gallon is about zero point zero eight times forty-eight liters.
Units involved
This is how the units in this conversion are defined:
Liters
"The litre (British spelling) or liter (American spelling) is an SI accepted metric system unit of volume equal to 1 cubic decimetre (dm3), 1,000 cubic centimetres (cm3) or 1/1,000 cubic metre. A cubic decimetre (or litre) occupies a volume of 10×10×10 centimetres (see figure) and is thus equal to one-thousandth of a cubic metre."
Us Gallons
"The US gallon is legally defined as 231 cubic inches, which is exactly 3.785411784 liters.[2][3] A US liquid gallon of water weighs about 8.34 pounds or 3.78 kilograms at 62 °F (17 °C), making it about 16.6% lighter than the imperial gallon. There are four quarts in a gallon, two pints in a quart and 16 US fluid ounces in a US pint, which makes the US fluid ounce equal to 1⁄128 of a US gallon."
