While in europe, if you drive 105 km per day, how much money would you spend on gas in one week if gas costs 1.10 euros per liter and your car's gas mileage is 30.0 mi/gal ? assume that 1euro=1.26dollar?

Respuesta :

You would spend $95.10.

You use a series of conversion factors.

There are many conversions, so let's break it into parts.

Calculate the gallons used

1 week × 7days1week×125km1day×1mi1.60934km×1gal30.0mi =

18.123 gal (three significant figures plus two guard digits)

Calculate the cost

18.123 gal × 3.78541L1gal×€1.101L×$1.26€1 = $95.10

The answer has only three significant figures, so it is precise only to the nearest
10 ¢.

Notice how the conversion factors are set up so they cancel to give the desired units at the end.



Total amount of money spend on the gas used as per given mileage is equals to 79.86 dollars.

What is mileage?

"Mileage is defined as the total distance travelled in the given quantity of fuel."

Conversion used

1week = 7 days

1mile = 1.6094 km

1gallon = 3.7854 km

According to the question,

Distance travelled by car per day = 105km

Total distance travelled by car in 1 week = (105 × 7 )km

Mileage of a car =  30.0 miles/gallons

Convert the unit of mileage to km/ liter we get,

30.0 miles/gallons = [tex]\frac{(30)(1.6094)}{3.7854}[/tex] km/liter

Fuel consumes per km

 [tex]1km= \frac{3.7854}{(30)(1.6094)} 1liter[/tex]

⇒[tex](105)(7)km= \frac{(3.7854)(105)(7)}{(30)(1.6094)} 1liter[/tex]

                     [tex]= 57.62 liter[/tex]

Cost per liter = 1.10 euro

Total amount used for 57.62 liter = (57.62 × 1.10 ) euro

                               = (57.62 × 1.10 × 1.26) dollars

                               = 79.86 dollars

Hence, total amount of money spend on the gas used as per given mileage is equals to 79.86 dollars.
