While in Europe, if you drive 117km per day, how much money would you spend on gas in one week if gas costs 1.10 euros per liter and your car's gas mileage is 32.0mi/gal ? Assume that 1euro=1.26dollars.
To calculate the amount of money spent on gas in one week while driving 117km per day in Europe, follow these steps:
1. Convert kilometers to miles:
To convert kilometers to miles, use the conversion factor of 1 kilometer = 0.621371 miles.
117 km * 0.621371 miles/km = 72.702 kilometers (approximately 72.7 miles)
2. Calculate the number of gallons used per week:
Divide the total miles driven in a week by the car's gas mileage in miles per gallon.
72.7 miles / 32.0 miles per gallon = 2.271875 gallons (approximately 2.27 gallons)
3. Convert gallons to liters:
To convert gallons to liters, use the conversion factor of 1 gallon = 3.78541 liters.
2.27 gallons * 3.78541 liters/gallon = 8.5974487 liters (approximately 8.6 liters)
4. Calculate the cost of gas in one week:
Multiply the number of liters used per week by the cost of gas per liter.
8.6 liters * 1.10 euros per liter = 9.46 euros
5. Convert euros to dollars:
Multiply the amount in euros by the exchange rate, which is 1.26 dollars per euro.
9.46 euros * 1.26 dollars/euro = 11.9216 dollars (approximately 11.92 dollars)
Therefore, you would spend approximately 11.92 dollars on gas in one week while driving 117km per day in Europe.
To calculate the amount of money spent on gas in one week while driving 117km per day, we need to convert the daily distance to miles.
1 kilometer is approximately 0.621 miles, so 117 kilometers is 72.7 miles per day.
Next, we can calculate the number of gallons of gas consumed per day by dividing the daily distance by the car's gas mileage:
72.7 miles / 32.0 miles per gallon = 2.27 gallons per day
To calculate the total amount of gas consumed in a week, we multiply the daily consumption by 7:
2.27 gallons per day * 7 days per week = 15.9 gallons per week
To calculate the total cost of gas in euros, we multiply the gas consumption in gallons by the cost per gallon in euros:
15.9 gallons per week * 1.10 euros per liter * (1 gallon / 3.78541 liters) = 4.18 euros per week
Finally, to convert the cost in euros to dollars using the exchange rate of 1 euro = 1.26 dollars:
4.18 euros * 1.26 dollars per euro = 5.27 dollars per week
Therefore, while driving 117km per day in Europe, you would spend approximately 5.27 dollars on gas in one week.
