Answer:

41,64 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to change the units we need to know the equivalence of said units.

1 gal of gas equals to 3,78541 liters.

We can use cross-multiplication in order to convert it into liters:


(1 gal)/(3.78541 L) = (11 gal)/(X)  \\\\X= (3.78541 L x 11 gal)/(1 gal)

A typical fill-up requires 41,64 liters.
