1. gas currently costs $1.33/liter.

how long will your trip take? to go to dallas it would 56 hours there and back

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total trip distance

Given round trip distance: $3,056 \times 2 = 6,112$ km

Step2: Calculate total fuel needed

Total fuel = $\frac{\text{Total distance}}{\text{Distance per tank}} \times \text{Tank capacity}$
First, find fuel per km: $\frac{15.5}{100} = 0.155$ L/km
Total fuel = $6112 \times 0.155 = 947.36$ L

Step3: Calculate total gas cost

Total cost = $\text{Total fuel} \times \text{Cost per liter}$
$\text{Total cost} = 947.36 \times 1.33$

Step4: Compute final cost value

$947.36 \times 1.33 = 1260.0088$

Answer:

Total gas cost for the trip: $\$1260.01$ (rounded to nearest cent)
Total trip time: 56 hours
