A filled gas tank contains 17.5 gal of fuel. If a car uses 42.0 L ,how many gallons of fuel remain in the tank?
First, we need to convert liters to gallons. 1 L is approximately 0.264172 gallons.
So, 42.0 L is equal to 42.0 * 0.264172 = 11.109264 gallons.
If a car uses 11.109264 gallons from a tank that contains 17.5 gallons, the remaining fuel is 17.5 - 11.109264 = 6.390736 gallons.
Therefore, there are approximately 6.390736 gallons of fuel remaining in the tank.
To convert liters to gallons, divide the number of liters by 3.78541.
So, 42.0 L ÷ 3.78541 = 11.0956 gallons.
Therefore, after using 42.0 L of fuel, there would still be 17.5 - 11.0956 = 6.4044 gallons of fuel remaining in the tank.
To answer this question, we need to convert the given amount of fuel used, which is 42.0 L, to gallons.
To convert liters to gallons, we can use the conversion factor: 1 L = 0.264172 gal.
So, we can multiply the number of liters by this conversion factor to get the equivalent amount in gallons:
42.0 L * 0.264172 gal/L = 11.095424 gal
Therefore, after using 42.0 L of fuel, there will remain 11.095424 gallons of fuel in the tank.
