Answer:

<em>To travel 20 Km, the hybrid car needs 0.3125 gallons of fuel.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Proportions</u>

The hybrid car can travel 40 miles per gallon.

Since one mile is equivalent to 1.6 Km, the distance traveled per gallon is 40*1.6 = 64 Km.

Now the distance is expressed in Km, we can find the gallons needed to travel 20 Km, by calculating 20/64 = 0.3125.

To travel 20 Km, the hybrid car needs 0.3125 gallons of fuel.
