Paul's car holds at most 17 gallons of gas. Now it has 9 gallons. Explain how to find the amount of gas he needs in liters. Use the conversion factors 4quarts/1gallon and 0.94liters/1quart

30.08 liters of gas.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Paul's car holds at most 17 gallons of gas.

Now it has 9 gallons.

Question asked:

Explain how to find the amount of gas he needs in liters.

Solution:

Capacity of Paul's car = 17 gallons of gas.

Now it has = 9 gallons of gas.

He need more = 17 - 9 = 8 gallons of gas.

Now, we have to convert it into liters:-

As we know:

Given:

1 gallon = 4 quarts ( Unitary method )

8 gallons =

Now, we will convert it into liters:- ( Unitary method )

1 quart = 0.94 liters

32 quart =

Thus, he needs 30.08 liters of gas.

use an equation of ratios to determine the amount of gas needed to fill the tank.

    0.2             0.8

  =    

288.75             x

                                                              231 gal

so, 0.2x = (0.8)(288.75 gal), and x = = 1155 gal.

                                                                0.2

it would take 1155 gal. to fill the tank.

the cost would be

1155 gal         $3

* = $3465   (answer)

      1           1 gal
