In Europe, gasoline efficiency is measured in km/L. If your car’s gas mileage is 25.0 mi/gal, how many liters of gasoline would need to buy to complete a 250 km trip to Europe? Use the following conversions: 1 km= 0.6214 mi and 1 gal = 3.78L

Answer:

[tex]V=23.5L[/tex]

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, it is convenient to compute the car's mileage in km/L as follows:

[tex]25.0\frac{mi}{gal}*\frac{1km}{0.6214mi}*\frac{1gal}{3.78L}=10.64\frac{km}{L}[/tex]

In such a way, since the distance is measured to be 250 km, the volume requirement is:

[tex]V=\frac{250km}{10.64kg/L}\\ \\V=23.5L[/tex]

Regards.
