Question

You decide to take your car on a drive through Canada, where gas is sold in liters and distances are measured in kilometers. Suppose your car's gas efficiency is 23.0 mi/gal. How many liters of gas will you need to complete a 495 km trip? Use the conversions 1 gal = 3.78 L and 1 km = 0.6214 mi.

L

Answer 1

the no of liters required is 50.55 liters

Explanation:

Given that

The car gas efficiency is 23.0 mi/gal

distance is 495 km

1 gal = 3.78 L

1 km = 0.6214 mi

We need to find out the no of liters of gas that would needed to complete a trip

So,

= (495 × 3.78 × 0.6214) ÷ (23)

= 50.55 Liters

hence, the no of liters required is 50.55 liters
