Question 428918: A car owner has her tank filled and notices that the odometer reads 14,368.7 kilometers. After a trip in the country, it takes 34.5 liters to fill the tank, and the odometer reads 14,651.6. How many kilometers per liter is this car getting? Answer by jorel1380(3719) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! To determing the gas mileage of this car, we need to take the difference in miles and divide it by the number of liters it takes to fill the tank. Thus:
MPG = 14651.6-14368.7/34.5
""" = 8.2 kilos/liter
Not very good.
