To find the distance that can be covered with 2 liters of gasoline, we can use the given information to set up a proportion:

12 liters/7.5 km = 2 liters/x km

Cross-multiplying, we get:

12x = 2 * 7.5

12x = 15

x = 15/12

x = 1.25 km

Therefore, the distance that can be covered with 2 liters of gasoline is 1.25 km.
