Work Step by Step

The distance to New York is 112 km. To convert this to miles, we use the conversion factor 1 km = 0.621371 mi 112 km = 69.45 mi To find out how long it takes to reach New York, we divide the distance in miles by the speed in miles per hour. 69.45 mi / 65 mi/h = 1.068 hours or 1 hour and 4.08 minutes To find the number of liters of gasoline required to travel 112 km, we first convert km to miles, then use the conversion factor 1 gallon = 3.78541 L 112 km = 69.45 mi. 69.45 mi / 28 mi/gal = 2.47 gal 2.47 gal * 3.78541 L/gal = 9.31 L. So, we will need 9.31 liters of gasoline to travel 112 km.
