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.

Use what you know about the angle sum theorem for triangles and your algebra skills to solve for x and find the measure of all t
melomori [17]

Answer:

2x° = 45°, 3x° = 67.5°

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum of angles in a triangle = 180°

2x+3x+3x=180°

8x=180°

x=22.5°

2x=22.5°x2=45°

3x=22.5°x3=67.5°

Joseph wants to line his garden with a fence that cost $2.25 per foot. The length of the garden is 6 yards and the width is 2.5
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

$38.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2W + 2L

(where W is the width and L is the length)

Given:

  • width = 2.5 yd
  • length = 6 yd

⇒ perimeter = (2 x 2.5) + (2 x 6)

                     = 5 + 12

                     = 17 yd

Given:

  • cost of fence = $2.25 per foot

⇒ total cost = 17 x 2.25

                    = $38.25

Dimension of a cuboid is 4 m 3 m ad 5 m how many such cuboid can form a cube....... please and urgent..experts please help
larisa [96]

Step-by-step explanation:

We dimension of the smallest cube to be made from cuboids of sides 3 m , 4 m and 5 m will be the least common multiple of 3 m, 4 m and 5 m i.e. 60 m

12 cuboidal should be stacked along 5 m edge to 60 m, 15 cuboids should be stacked along 4 m edge and 20. cuboids should be stacked along edge to make a cube of 60 m edge, Hence number of cuboids are 12× 15 ×20=3600

hope it helps
