Question

I'm reviewing for a test tomorrow, and I was wondering about this question.

Convert 55 mi/gal to meters/liter.

I'm not sure how to go about it, though when I tried it I got 89000.0m/4L. But, I'm not sure if that is right.

Answer 1

I went to google and typed in 55 miles per gallon to meters per liter and up popped the number 23,382.9 m/L. Of course I doubt you will have access to google on a test. There are many different conversions one can use but I try to these from just memorizing a few.
For miles.
5,280 ft in a mile.
12 inches in a foot
2.54 cm in an inch
100 cm in a meter
4 quarts in a gallon.
1.0567 liters in a quart.

55 mi/gal x (5,280 ft/mi) x (12 in/ft) x (2.54 cm/in) x (1 m/100 cm) x (1 gal/4 qts) x (1.0567 L/qt) = 23383.2 which is very close to googles answer. The difference is in rounding.
Your answer of 89,000/4L is 22,250/L which is very close. Post your work if you want me to check it but I suspect the difference is rounding for you, also.

Answer 2

Yup! Thank you!
