Question

In Europe, gasoline efficiency is measured in km/L. If your car’s gas mileage is 25.0 mi/gal, how many liters of gasoline would need to buy to complete a 250 km trip to Europe? Use the following conversions: 1 km= 0.6214 mi and 1 gal = 3.78L

Answer 1

`V=23.5L`

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

In this case, it is convenient to compute the car's mileage in km/L as follows:

`25.0(mi)/(gal)*(1km)/(0.6214mi)*(1gal)/(3.78L)=10.64(km)/(L)`

In such a way, since the distance is measured to be 250 km, the volume requirement is:

`V=(250km)/(10.64kg/L)\\ \\V=23.5L`

Regards.
