A car travels at 28 miles per gallon. How many kilometers will it travel per liter of gasoline?
Why.. is this categorized as chemistry?
So you need to change miles to km and gallons to liters. Can you do that? If not, exactly what about the process confuses you?
To find out how many kilometers the car will travel per liter of gasoline, we need to convert miles to kilometers and gallons to liters.
First, let's convert miles to kilometers. We know that one mile is approximately equal to 1.60934 kilometers.
So, to convert 28 miles to kilometers, we can multiply 28 by 1.60934:
28 miles * 1.60934 km/mile ≈ 45.06 kilometers
Now, we need to convert gallons to liters. One gallon is approximately equal to 3.78541 liters.
To convert 1 gallon to liters, we can multiply 1 by 3.78541:
1 gallon * 3.78541 L/gallon ≈ 3.78541 liters
Finally, divide the distance traveled in kilometers by the amount of gasoline used in liters:
45.06 kilometers / 3.78541 liters ≈ 11.9 kilometers per liter
Therefore, the car will travel approximately 11.9 kilometers per liter of gasoline.
