Question

The gas tank in Sharon’s car can hold up to 16.5 gal of gas. About how many liters of gas can the tank hold? 1 L≈1.06 qt

3.9 L
4.4 L
62.3 L
70.0 L

Answer 1

62.3 L

Explanation:

Answer 2

we know that

a)
`1` gallon is equal to
`4` quarter of gallon

so

by proportion

`16.5` gallons is equal to

`(1)/(4) =(16.5)/(x) \\ x=16.5*4\\ x=66`quarter of gallon

b)
`1` liter is equal to
`1.06` quarter of gallon

by proportion

`66`quarter of gallon is equal to

`(1)/(1.06) =(x)/(66) \\ x=(66)/(1.06) \\ x=62.26\\ x=62.3`liters

therefore

the answer is the option

`62.3L`
