Question

While driving your rental car on your trip to Europe, you find that you are getting 9.7 kilometers per liter of gasoline. What does this correspond to in miles per gallon?

Answer 1

While driving your rental car on your trip to Europe, you find that you are getting 9.7 kilometers per liter of gasoline. We know that 1 mile is equal to 1.609 kilometers. So divide 9.7 kilometers by 1.609 kilometrs/mile and you will get 6.03 miles per gasoline

Answer 2

The given value is $9.7 km/L$

Since, $1 km = 0.62 mile$ so:

$9.7 km = 9.7 km \times 0.62 miles/km$ = $6.014 miles$

Since, $1 L = 0.2199 galon$ so:

$9.7 km/L = \frac{6.014 miles}{0.2199 galon}$

$27.35 miles/ galon$

Hence, 9.7 kilometers per liter of gasoline is $27.35 miles/ galon$.
