A physicist wants to study the motion of a car.

a. The physicist put 8 L of gasoline in a ca. How many gallons is this? (Note: 1 gal = 3.79 L)

b. The car was able to travel 75.3 jm before it ran out of gas. How many miles is this? (Note 1 mi = 1.61 km)

c. The scientist put more gasoline in the car, and it was able to travel 38.1 miles. How many meters is this? (Note 1 mi = 1.61 km; 1000 m = 1 km)

Conner Choi · Answer 1

A.

If 1 gal = 3.79L

then x gallons = (8 : 3.79)

x is approximately 2.11 gallons

b.

If 1mi = 1.61km

then x miles = (75.3 : 1.61)

x is approximately 46.77 miles

c.

If 1mi = 1.61km and 1km = 1000m, it implies that 1mi = (1.61 * 1000) meters

this is equal to 1610meters

since 1mi = 1610m, x meters = (38.1 * 1610)

x is 61341 meters.
