Question

The gasoline consumption of a small car is advertised as 16.3 km/L (1L=1liter). How many miles per gallon is this? One mile is 1.609 km and one gallon is 3.788 L.

Answer 1

38.38 miles per gallon

Explanation:

16.3 km/L to miles per gallon

1 mile = 1.609 km

16.3 km = 16.3/1.609 = 10.13 miles

1 gallon = 3.788 L

1 L = 1/3.788 = 0.2639 gallon

therefore,

16.3 km/L = 10.13/0.2639 = 38.38 miles per gallon
