Question

An American visiting Canada puts 41.2 liters of gas in his car. How much is that in gallons? (1 gal = 3.78 L)

Answer 1

10.9 gal

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that 1gal = 3.78l

if 1gal = 3.78l

then Xgal = 41.2l

• cross multiply

we have 1gal*41.2L=Xgal* 3.78L

• divide both by 3.78L

1gal*41.2L/3.78= Xgal

Xgal = 10.89L or 10.9L

Answer 2

41.2/3.78=10.9

(this is rounded off to the first decimal)
