We know

1.6 km = 1 mi

Let's convert the mileage into miles.


\frac{12.8\operatorname{km}}{L}*\frac{1mi}{1.6\operatorname{km}}=(8mi)/(L)

So, the SUV goes 8 miles per 1 liter of gasoline.

We know

3.785 liters = 1 gallon

Let's convert the mileage into gallons.


(8mi)/(L)*\frac{3.785L}{1\text{gal}}=(30.28mi)/(gal)

So, the SUV goes 30.28 miles per gallon.

We need to know the number of miles the SUV will travel in 22.5 gallons of gasoline.

So,

30.28 x 22.5 = 681.30 miles
