Answer 1

Answer : The cost of pennies to buy 125 L of gasoline would be, $71.92

Explanation :

As we are given that the cost to buy gasoline is $2.186/gallon.

Now we have to determine the cost to buy 125 L of gasoline.

First we have to convert 125 L into gallon.

Conversion used:

(1 gallon = 128 oz, 1 oz= 29.6 mL, 1 mL = 0.001 L)

As, 1 L = 1000 mL

So, 125 L = 125000 mL

and,

As, 29.6 mL = 1 oz

So, 125000 mL =
`(125000mL)/(29.6mL)* 1oz=4222.9oz`

and,

As, 128 oz = 1 gallon

So, 4222.9 oz =
`(4222.9oz)/(128oz)* 1\text{ gallon}=32.9\text{ gallon}`

Now we have to determine the cost to buy 125 L of gasoline.

As, the cost of 1 gallon of gasoline = $2.186

So, the cost of 32.9 gallon of gasoline = $2.186 × 32.9

= $71.92

Therefore, the cost of pennies to buy 125 L of gasoline would be, $71.92
