Question

While traveling in England, Sonia noticed that the price of gas was 1.4 pints per liter. She wondered how that compares to the price of gas in Atlanta, where she lives. On that day, the exchange rate was £1= $1.56. Set up and evaluate a conversion expression to find the equivalent price in dollars per gallon. Use the conversion factor 1L=0.26 gal.

Answer 1

Answer:

$8.40

Step-by-step explanation:

Price in England = 1.4 pounds per Litre

Current exchange rate : 1 pound = 1.65 dollars

1 Litre = 0.26 gallons

If 1 Litre = 0.26 gallons

1 gallon = (1 / 0.26) litres = 3.8461538 litres

Therefore, cost per gallon in England = (1.4 × 3.8461538)

= 5.3846153 pounds

Then ;

If 1 pound = 1.56 dollars

Then cost per gallon in dollars equals

5.3846153 * 1.56 = 8.399999868 dollars

$8.40
