Question

You decide to take your car on a drive through canada, where gas is sold in liters and distances are measured in kilometers. suppose your car's gas efficiency is 32.0 mi/gal. how many liters of gas will you need to complete a 410.0 km trip? use the conversions 1 gal = 3.78 l and 1 km = 0.6214 mi.

Answer 1

Alright, lets get started.

Lets convert the efficiency of the car from miles/gallon to kilometers/liters.

$32*\frac{1}{0.6214*3.78} \frac{km}{liter}$

13.62 km/liter

For 13.62 km, it takes gas = 1 liter

For 410 km, it takes gas =

$\frac{410}{13.62}$ = 30.10

30.10  liters of gas will you need to complete a 410.0 km trip.   :   Answer
