B. 0.8
C. 2.5
D. 3.2

Answer 1

The number of gallons are 0.3.

A is correct option.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

A hybrid car can travel 40 miles per gallon

We need to calculate the mile/gallon to km/gallon

Gallon is the unit of liquid and miles and kilometer are the unit of distance.

`40\ miles/gallon = 64.3738\ km/gallon`

We need to calculate the number of gallons of fuel

Number of gallon
`N=(20)/(64.3738)`

`N=0.3`

Hence, The number of gallons are 0.3.

Answer 2

correct option is A

20 km we need 0.3 gallon fuel

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

gallon = 40 miles

distance = 20 km

to find out

how many gallons of fuel

solution

we know that 20 km = 12.4274 miles

and

we know here car is travel 40 miles per gallon

it mean here that

40 miles = 1 gallon

1 miles = 1/ 40 gallon

and

12.4274 miles = 1/40 × 12.4274 gallon

solve it to get gallon of 20 km or

12.4274 miles = 0.31 gallon

so in 20 km we need 0.3 gallon fuel

correct option is A
