Mr. Brady's new car get sixty miles to the gallon. In the metric system gas consumption is measured in liters per 100 kilometers, how do you make the conversion?

Answer 1

Aurora Arias

Gas consumption is #100# kilometers to #3.92# liters

To convert gas consumption from miles per gallon to liters per #100# kilometers, we should first know

(1) the relation between gallon and liters - this is #1# gallon is equal to #3.78541# liters and

(2) relation between miles and kilometers - this is #1# gallon is equal to #1.60934# kilometers.

Hence #60# miles to #1# gallon is equivalent to

#60xx1.60934# kilometers to #3.78541# liters

or #1# kilometers to #3.78541/(60xx1.60934)=0.0392# liters

or #100# kilometers to #0.0392xx100=3.92# liters

To convert from miles per gallon (mpg) to liters per 100 kilometers (L/100 km), you can use the following conversion formula:

$\text{Fuel Efficiency (L/100 km)} = \frac{235.214}{\text{Fuel Efficiency (mpg)}}$

This formula allows you to convert fuel efficiency from miles per gallon to liters per 100 kilometers. Simply divide 235.214 by the number of miles per gallon to obtain the equivalent fuel efficiency in liters per 100 kilometers.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
