To convert liters to gallons, we can use the conversion factor 1 liter = 0.264172 gallons.
First, we calculate the number of gallons of gasoline the Prius can travel on 16 liters:
16 liters * 0.264172 gallons/liter = 4.226752 gallons
Next, we can calculate the distance the Prius can travel using the EPA gas mileage rating of 52 mi/gal:
4.226752 gallons * 52 mi/gal = 219.946304 miles
Finally, to convert miles to kilometers, we use the conversion factor 1 mile = 1.60934 kilometers:
219.946304 miles * 1.60934 kilometers/mile ≈ 354.19 kilometers
Therefore, the Prius can travel approximately 354.19 kilometers on 16 liters of gasoline.
