We need to convert the mileage from mi/gal units into to km/L units using the conversion factors.

(31.0 mi/gal) x (1 km / 0.6214 mi) x (1 gal / 3.78 L) = 13.20 km/L

Next, we divide the distance by the mileage. 
(142 km) / (13.20 km/L) = 10.79 L

<span>Therefore, you need 10.79 liters of gasoline.</span>

10.76 liters of gasoline.

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

<u>Given:</u>

  • The car mileage is 31.0 mi/gal.
  • We need to complete a 142-km trip in Europe.
  • The following conversions are 1 km = 0.6214 miles and 1 gal = 3.78 L.

<u>Question:</u>

How many liters of gasoline would we need to buy to complete a 142 km trip in Europe?

<u>The Process:</u>

This case is about gasoline efficiency in Europe.

The steps to solve this case are as follows:

  1. Convert the car mileage from mi/gal units into km/L units.
  2. Divide the distance by the converted mileage to get the amount of gasoline.

Step-1

The car mileage (in km/L)

\boxed{ \ 31.0 \ \frac{miles}{gal} \times \frac{1 \ km}{0.6214 \ miles} \times \frac{1 \ gal}{3.78 \ L }\ } \rightarrow \boxed{ \ 13.20 \ \frac{km}{L} \ }

Step-2

The amount of gasoline (in L)

\boxed{ \ \frac{142 \ km}{13.20 \ \frac{km}{L}} \ } \rightarrow \boxed{\boxed{ \ 10.76 \ L \ }}

<u>Quick Steps:</u>

\boxed{ \ 142 \ km \times \frac{0.6214 \ miles}{1 \ km} \times \frac{1 \ gal}{31.0 \ miles} \times \frac{3.78 \ L}{1 \ gal} = \boxed{ \ 10.76 \ L \ } \ }

Thus the amount of gasoline would we need to buy to complete a 142 km trip in Europe is 10.76 L.
