The conversion used to convert kilometer to miles is:

The conversion used to convert liter to gallon is:

1 L = 0.2642 gallons

1 km/L = $\frac{0.6214}{0.2642}mile/gallon$

1 km/L = 2.352 mile/gallon

As we are given that 8.8 km/L of gasoline. Now we have to convert it into mile/gallon.

As, 1 km/L = 2.352 mile/gallon

So, 8.8 km/L = $\frac{8.8km/L}{1km/L}\times 2.352mile/gallon$

                     = 20.6976 mile/gallon

Thus, the value correspond to in miles per gallon is, 20.6976 mile/gallon
