keeping in mind that there are about 1.609 Km in 1 mile and that there are about 3.78L in 1 gallon(US)


\cfrac{24~~\begin{matrix} Km \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix}~~ }{1~~\begin{matrix} L \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix}~~ }\cdot \cfrac{mile}{1.609~~\begin{matrix} Km \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix}~~ }\cdot \cfrac{3.78~~\begin{matrix} L \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix}~~ }{gallon(US)} \\\\\\ \cfrac{24(3.78)}{1.609}\cfrac{mile}{gallon(US)} ~~ \approx ~~ 56.38(mile)/(gallon)

Answer:

160.1 divided by 22.3 = 7.179 miles per litre.

This is 7.179 x 4.544 = 32.62 miles per gallon.
