Question 970495: Nuri is researching the fuel efficiency of pickup trucks. He found a website that advertised a hybrid pickup truck with a fuel efficiency of 22 mpg for highway driving. He found another website that advertised a pickup truck with a fuel efficiency of 10 km/L for highway driving. Which truck has a better fuel efficiency? Explain how you know.
b. Describe a different strategy you could have used to determine the better fuel efficiency in part a).
Note: 1 mi (mile) = 1.61 km
1 US gal = 3.79 L
Answer by josgarithmetic(39625) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Pick either of the fuel efficiencies and convert into the other unit. Either change 22 mpg into kilometers per liter, or change the 10 km/L into how many miles per gallons. Once done, the comparison can be made. The comparison must be done in the same unit.
Example, E kilometers per Liter.
What is this in miles per gallon?
