Answer 1

To travel the 192 miles to Brighton in a minibus that runs at 16 miles per gallon and with diesel costing £1.43 per liter, it would cost approximately £64.80.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the cost of traveling the 192 miles to Brighton, we need to determine the number of gallons of diesel fuel required and multiply it by the cost per gallon. The minibus runs at 16 miles per gallon, so the number of gallons required is 192/16 = 12 gallons.

Given that diesel costs £1.43 per liter and there are approximately 3.785 liters in a gallon, the cost per gallon is 1.43 * 3.785 = £5.40 per gallon.

Therefore, the cost to travel the 192 miles to Brighton is 12 * £5.40 = £64.80.
