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 cars gas efficiency is 32.0mi/gal. How many liters of gas will you need to complete a 313 km trip? Use the conversion 1gal=3.78 L and 1 km = 0.6214mi.

Respuesta :

Answer: you will need 22.98 liters of gas to complete a 313 km trip.

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose your cars gas efficiency is 32.0mi/gal, we would need to convert from miles per gallon to kilometers per liter.

From the information given,

0.6214 miles = 1 kilometer

Therefore,

32 miles = 32/0.6214 = 51.4966 kilometers

Meanwhile,

1 gallon = 3.78 liters

Therefore, the gas efficiency of the car in kilometers per liter would be

51.4966/3.78 = 13.62 kilometers per liter

Therefore, the number of liters of gas that you will need to complete a 313 km trip is

313/13.62 = 22.98 liters
