A motercycle can travel 60 miles per gallon. approximently how many gallons of fuel will the motercycle need to travel 40 km [1 mile = 1.6km]

a: 0.04
b: 0.08
c: 0.20
d: 0.42

D. 0.42

Step-by-step explanation:

First, convert 40 km to miles by dividing it by 1.6:

40/1.6

= 25

Create a proportion where x is the number of gallons the motorcycle will need to travel 40 km (25 miles):

=

60x = 25

x = 0.4166

Round this to the nearest hundredth:

x = 0.42

So, to travel 40 km, the motorcycle will need 0.42 gallons of fuel.

The correct answer is D. 0.42
