119. a car has a mileage rating of 38 mi per gallon of gasoline. how many miles can the car travel on 76.5 l of gasoline?

Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Convert liters to gallons

We know that 1 gallon = 3.78541 L. So, the number of gallons in 76.5 L is $n=\frac{76.5}{3.78541}$. $n=\frac{76.5}{3.78541}\approx20.21$ gallons.

Step2: Calculate the number of miles

The car travels 38 miles per gallon. So, the number of miles $d$ it can travel on 20.21 gallons is $d = 38\times n$. $d=38\times20.21 = 767.98\approx768$ miles.

Answer:

768 miles
