\n" ); document.write( "Express the given mileage as a fraction:

\r\n" );
document.write( "  33 miles\r\n" );
document.write( " ----------\r\n" );
document.write( "  1 gallon

\n" ); document.write( "Then multiply by \"unit multipliers\" that change units without changing the measurement:

\r\n" );
document.write( "  33 miles     1.61 km     0.264 gallons\r\n" );
document.write( " ---------- * --------- * ---------------\r\n" );
document.write( "  1 gallon     1 mile        1 liter

\n" ); document.write( "The units cancel, giving the measurement in kilometers per liter.

\n" ); document.write( "Note the unit multipliers are accurate only to a couple of decimal places, so the resulting figure is only approximate.

\n" ); document.write( "(33)(1.61)(0.264) = 14.02

\n" ); document.write( "ANSWER: 14 km/liter, to the nearest whole number.
