Answer: To convert liters of fuel oil burned in hours to gallons, we can use the conversion factor that 1 gallon is equal to 3.785 liters. The formula for the conversion can be represented as a function:


def liters_to_gallons(liters):

return liters / 3.785


Here, the input liters represents the number of liters of fuel oil burned in hours, and the output of the function is the equivalent number of gallons. The function performs the conversion by dividing the input value (in liters) by the conversion factor (3.785).
