In Europe, gasoline efficiency is measured in km/L. If your car's gas mileage is 23.0 mi/gal , how many liters of gasoline would you need to buy to complete a 142-km trip in Europe? Use the following conversions: 1km=0.6214mi and 1gal=3.78L

The answer is 23mi/gal(1km/0.6214mi)(1liter/3.78gal)=9.79km/L

142/9.79 = 14.5 L
