Manage volume units later. First, analyze and solve the main problem.
This is a fuel efficiency uniform rates problem 

         RATE         VOLUME       DISTANCE
         km/L          Liters      Kilometers
CITY       C           8.9          100
HWY        H           7.2          100


Find rates, C and H.

and


How much fuel used, first as liters, for 50 km "into" the city and 250 km on highway? (Assuming the combination, addition).

R*V=D rate volume distance
V=D/R to find volume

, in LITERS
