In order to determine the lung capacity of the blue whale in units of gallons, we use the conversion factor: 1 US gallon = 3.7854 liters. We then have the following equation:

Lung capacity of Blue Whale = 5200 L x 1 US gallon/3.7854 liters

Thus, we have determined that the volume of 5200 L is equivalent to 1373.7 US gallons. 

Answer : The volume in gallons will be 1373.695 gallons.

Explanation :

The conversion used volume from liters to gallons is :

1 gallon = 3.78541 L

or,

[tex]1\text{ liter}=\frac{1}{3.78541}\text{ gallon}[/tex]

As we are given that the lung capacity of the blue whale is 5200 L. Now we have to convert the volume into gallons.

As, [tex]1\text{ liter}=\frac{1}{3.78541}\text{ gallon}[/tex]

So, [tex]5200\text{ liter}=\frac{5200\text{ liter}}{1\text{ liter}}\frac{1}{3.78541}\text{ gallon}=1373.695\text{ gallons}[/tex]

Therefore, the volume in gallons will be 1373.695 gallons.
