Question

11. Your car's gasoline tank holds 18 gallons of gasoline. On a trip in Canada,

the tank is one quarter full. You want to fill the tank. How many liters of
gasoline are needed to fill the tank? Explain your answer.

Answer 1

51.1 liters

Explanation:

Tank holds 18 gallons.

The tank is 1/4 full, so to fill it up, you need 3/4 of 18 gal.

3/4 of 18 gal = 13.5 gal

1 gal = 3.785 liters

13.5 gal × 3.785 liters/gal = 51.1 liters

Answer: 51.1 liters
