Answer:
<em>6.25</em>
Explanation:
M = d/g........................ Equation 1
making g the subject of the equation,
g = d/M............................. Equation 2
Where M = mileage per gallon, d = distance move from Essex campus to Catonsville campus, g = amount of gasoline used
<em>Given: M = 38 miles per gallon, d = 37.2 km</em>
<em>If 1 kilometer = 0.62 miles</em>
<em>Then, 37.2 km = 37.2×0.62 miles = 23.064 miles</em>
<em>Substituting these values into equation 2,</em>
<em>g = 38/23.064</em>
<em>g = 1.648 gallon</em>
<em>g ≈1.65 gallon</em>
<em>Thus, </em>
<em>If, 0.264 gallon = 1 liters.</em>
<em>Then, 1.65 gallon = 1.65×1/0.264 = 6.25 liters.</em>
<em>g = 6.25</em>
<em>Thus the car will use 6.25 liters of gasoline to move from the Essex campus to the Catonsville campus.</em>
