A filled gas tank contains 20.4 gal
of fuel. If a car uses 49.0 L
, how many gallons of fuel remain in the tank?
To convert liters to gallons, we can use the conversion factor: 1 liter = 0.264172 gallons.
So, 49.0 liters = 49.0 * 0.264172 = 12.911028 gallons.
Therefore, there are 20.4 - 12.911028 = 7.488972 gallons of fuel remaining in the tank. Answer: \boxed{7.49}.
To determine how many gallons of fuel remain in the tank, we need to convert the given quantity from liters to gallons.
1 gallon is equal to 3.78541 liters.
First, we need to find out how many liters the tank initially contained. Since it contains 20.4 gallons, we can convert this to liters using the conversion factor:
20.4 gallons * 3.78541 liters/gallon = 77.322364 liters
Now, let's find out how many gallons were used by the car. We know that it used 49.0 liters of fuel. To convert this to gallons, we divide by the conversion factor:
49.0 liters / 3.78541 liters/gallon ≈ 12.944224 gallons
To determine how many gallons remain in the tank, we subtract the amount used from the initial amount:
20.4 gallons - 12.944224 gallons ≈ 7.455776 gallons
Therefore, approximately 7.46 gallons of fuel remain in the tank.
To find out how many gallons of fuel remain in the tank, we need to convert the given quantity of fuel from liters to gallons.
1 liter is approximately equal to 0.264172 gallons.
First, let's convert the amount of fuel used in the car from liters to gallons:
49.0 L * 0.264172 gal/L = 12.92 gal
Now we can calculate how many gallons of fuel remain in the tank:
20.4 gal - 12.92 gal = 7.48 gal
So, there are approximately 7.48 gallons of fuel remaining in the tank.
