Timmy's van travels an average of 30 kilometers per gallon of fuel. How many miles does Timmy's van travel per gallon of fuel? Use 1 mile is equal to about 1.61 kilometers, and round to the nearest tenth of a mile. (1 point)
Apologies for the mistake. To convert kilometers to miles, we divide by the conversion factor of 1.61.
Therefore, Timmy's van travels (30/1.61) = 18.63 miles per gallon of fuel.
Rounding to the nearest tenth of a mile, we find that Timmy's van travels 18.6 miles per gallon of fuel. Answer: \boxed{18.6}.
18.6
Apologies for the mistake. You are correct. Timmy's van travels 18.6 miles per gallon of fuel.
To convert kilometers to miles, we need to multiply the number of kilometers by the conversion factor of approximately 1.61.
30 kilometers per gallon * 1 mile / 1.61 kilometers = 18.63 miles per gallon.
Therefore, Timmy's van travels approximately 18.6 miles per gallon of fuel.
To find out how many miles Timmy's van travels per gallon of fuel, we need to convert the given average from kilometers to miles.
Given:
1 mile ≈ 1.61 kilometers
First, we calculate the conversion factor:
Conversion factor = 1 mile / 1.61 kilometers
Now, we can use dimensional analysis (unit conversion method) to convert kilometers to miles:
Conversion = 30 kilometers * (1 mile / 1.61 kilometers)
= 18.6 miles (rounded to the nearest tenth of a mile)
Therefore, Timmy's van travels approximately 18.6 miles per gallon of fuel.
Timmy's van travels (30)(1.61) = 48.3 kilometers per gallon of fuel.
Therefore, Timmy's van travels 48.3/1.61 = <<48.3/1.61=30>>30 miles per gallon of fuel. Answer: \boxed{30}.
