Question

Let's say my car (I DON"T HAVE ONE) holds 17 gallons of gas right now it has 6 gallons. Can you explain how to find the amount of gas I need in liters, to fill the gas tank with the conversion factions 4 quarts in a 1 gallon and .94 liters in 1 quart

Fill the blank:
I need about _____ liters of gas to fill my tank

Answer 1

I need about 41 liters of gas to fill my tank

Explanation:

Full tank: 17 gallons

Amount of gas in tank now: 6 gallons

Amount needed to fill tank: 17 gallons - 6 gallons = 11 gallons

The amount needed to fill the tank is 11 gallons.

Now we convert 11 gallons to liters.

We use conversion fractions, first from gallons to quarts, then from quarts to liters.

11 gallons * (4 quarts)/(1 gallon) * (0.94 liter)/(1 quart) = 41.36 liters

Answer 2

41.6 (rounded to nearest tenth)
