Conversion formula

The conversion factor from gallons to cubic meters is 0.0037854118, which means that 1 gallon is equal to 0.0037854118 cubic meters:

1 gal = 0.0037854118 m3

To convert 55 gallons into cubic meters we have to multiply 55 by the conversion factor in order to get the volume amount from gallons to cubic meters. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 gal → 0.0037854118 m3

55 gal → V_(m3)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the volume V in cubic meters:

V_(m3) = 55 gal × 0.0037854118 m3

V_(m3) = 0.208197649 m3

The final result is:

55 gal → 0.208197649 m3

We conclude that 55 gallons is equivalent to 0.208197649 cubic meters:
