Question

Determine the fuel economy rating of the 2011 Chevrolet Volt in km/L, given the U.S. Department of Energy's rating of 300 mi/gal.

A) 80.46 km/L
B) 87.12 km/L
C) 91.44 km/L
D) 96.94 km/L

Answer 1

The fuel economy rating of the 2011 Chevrolet Volt in km/L is approximately 127.71 km/L.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the fuel economy rating of the 2011 Chevrolet Volt in km/L, we can use the conversion factor of 1 mile = 1.60934 km and the U.S. Department of Energy's rating of 300 mi/gal. First, we convert the 300 miles to kilometers by multiplying it by 1.60934. This gives us 482.8 km/gal. Next, we convert gallons to liters by using the conversion factor of 1 gallon = 3.78541 liters. Therefore, 1 gallon of fuel is equivalent to 3.78541 liters. Finally, we divide the fuel economy rating in km/gal by the conversion factor of 3.78541 to get the rating in km/L.

Let's calculate:

Fuel economy rating in km/L = (482.8 km/gal) / 3.78541

Fuel economy rating in km/L ≈ 127.71 km/L.

Answer 2

To find the fuel economy in km/L, convert 300 mi to km and 1 gal to L, then divide the distance by the fuel volume. The result is approximately 127.59 km/L, though this doesn't match the provided options, suggesting a potential error in the figures given.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the fuel economy rating of the 2011 Chevrolet Volt in km/L from the given U.S. Department of Energy's rating of 300 mi/gal, we first need to convert miles to kilometers and gallons to liters. There are approximately 1.60934 kilometers in a mile and 3.78541 liters in a gallon.

The conversion is as follows:

1. Convert 300 mi to km: 300 miles * 1.60934 km/mile = 482.802 km.
2. Convert 1 gal to L: 1 gallon * 3.78541 L/gallon = 3.78541 L.
3. Divide the distance by the amount of fuel: 482.802 km / 3.78541 L = 127.59338 km/L.

Therefore, the fuel economy rating of the 2011 Chevrolet Volt is approximately 127.59 km/L, which is not listed in the options provided. The most likely scenario is that there might have been an error with the given options or the original provided fuel economy figure.
