While driving your rental car on your trip to Europe, you find that you are getting 10.4 kilometers per liter of gasoline. What does this correspond to in miles per gallon?

You can look these conversion factors up in tables or on Google. There are 3.785 L/gallon and 1.609 km/mile. So

10.6 km/L x (3.785 L/gallon) x (1 mile/km) = ?
Note that you makes these conversions so the unit you have gets canceled and leaves the units you want to keep. You see km in the numerator cancels with km in the denominator. Also L in the numerator cancels with L in the denominator. The units left are miles/gallon.

To determine the equivalent fuel efficiency in miles per gallon, we need to convert kilometers per liter to miles per gallon. The conversion will involve converting both the distance unit (kilometers to miles) and volume unit (liters to gallons). Here's how you can calculate it:

1. Start by converting kilometers to miles. One kilometer is approximately equal to 0.621 miles.
- Divide the distance in kilometers (10.4 km) by the conversion factor (0.621) to obtain the equivalent distance in miles.

10.4 km / 0.621 = 16.73 miles (rounded to two decimal places)

2. Next, convert liters to gallons. One liter is approximately equal to 0.264 gallons.
- Divide the volume in liters (1 liter) by the conversion factor (0.264) to get the equivalent volume in gallons.

1 liter / 0.264 = 3.79 gallons (rounded to two decimal places)

3. Finally, divide the distance in miles by the volume in gallons to calculate the fuel efficiency in miles per gallon.

16.73 miles / 3.79 gallons = 4.41 miles per gallon (rounded to two decimal places)

So, the fuel efficiency of 10.4 kilometers per liter corresponds to approximately 4.41 miles per gallon.

To convert kilometers per liter to miles per gallon, you can use the following conversion factors:

1 kilometer = 0.621371 mile
1 liter = 0.264172 gallon

First, let's convert kilometers to miles:
10.4 kilometers * 0.621371 mile/kilometer = 6.461744 miles

Next, let's convert liters to gallons:
1 liter * 0.264172 gallon/liter = 0.264172 gallon

Now, we can calculate the miles per gallon:
6.461744 miles / 0.264172 gallon = 24.5 miles per gallon (rounded to one decimal place)

Therefore, getting 10.4 kilometers per liter of gasoline corresponds to approximately 24.5 miles per gallon.
