In Europe, gasoline efficiency is measured in km/L. If your car's gas mileage is 28.0 mi/gal , how many liters of gasoline would you need to buy to complete a 142-km trip in Europe

Respuesta :

Answer:

The volume required is  [tex]V  = 11.91 \ liters  [/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The cars mileage is  v =  28.0 mi/gal

   The  distance is  d  =  142 km

Converting the distance from km to  miles

        [tex]d = 142 * 0.6214 = 88.24 \ miles[/tex]

Generally the volume of gasoline needed is mathematically represented as  

       [tex]V =  \frac{d}{ v}[/tex]

=>     [tex]V =  \frac{88.24}{ 28.0 }[/tex]

=>     [tex]V = 3.151 \ gal[/tex]

Converting to  Liters

    =>   [tex]V = 3.151  *   3.78 [/tex]

     =>   [tex]V  = 11.91 \ liters  [/tex]
