Question

A hybrid SUV consumes fuel at a rate of a rate of 12.8 km/L. how many miles can the car travel on 22.5 gal of gasoline?

Answer 1

We know

1.6 km = 1 mi

Let's convert the mileage into miles.

$\frac{12.8\operatorname{km}}{L}\times\frac{1mi}{1.6\operatorname{km}}=\frac{8mi}{L}$

So, the SUV goes 8 miles per 1 liter of gasoline.

We know

3.785 liters = 1 gallon

Let's convert the mileage into gallons.

$\frac{8mi}{L}\times\frac{3.785L}{1\text{gal}}=\frac{30.28mi}{gal}$

So, the SUV goes 30.28 miles per gallon.

We need to know the number of miles the SUV will travel in 22.5 gallons of gasoline.

So,

30.28 x 22.5 = 681.30 miles

Answer681.30 miles
