a)
Let +x+ = litres in a full tank
+.75x+=+45+
+x+=+45%2F.75+
+x+=+60+ litres
--------------------
b)
In units only:
( litres ) x ( km / litre ) = km
+60%2A%28+12+%2F+1+%29+=+720+ km
---------------------------
c)
In terms of units:
( dollars / litre ) x ( litres / km ) x km = dollars
+1.02%2A+%28+1%2F12+%29%2A252+=+21.42+ dollars
