    6.25

    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

    Given: M = 38 miles per gallon, d = 37.2 km

    If 1 kilometer = 0.62 miles

    Then, 37.2 km = 37.2*0.62 miles = 23.064 miles

    Substituting these values into equation 2,

    g = 38/23.064

    g = 1.648 gallon

    g ≈1.65 gallon

    Thus,

    If, 0.264 gallon = 1 liters.

    Then, 1.65 gallon = 1.65*1/0.264 = 6.25 liters.

    g = 6.25

    Thus the car will use 6.25 liters of gasoline to move from the Essex campus to the Catonsville campus.
