Answer 1

30.08 liters of gas.

Explanation:

Given:

Paul's car holds at most 17 gallons of gas.

Now it has 9 gallons.

Question asked:

Explain how to find the amount of gas he needs in liters.

Solution:

Capacity of Paul's car = 17 gallons of gas.

Now it has = 9 gallons of gas.

He need more = 17 - 9 = 8 gallons of gas.

Now, we have to convert it into liters:-

As we know:

Given:

1 gallon = 4 quarts ( Unitary method )

8 gallons =
`4*8=32\ quarts`

Now, we will convert it into liters:- ( Unitary method )

1 quart = 0.94 liters

32 quart =
`0.94*32=30.08\ liters`

Thus, he needs 30.08 liters of gas.
