Question

Philippe had an American car imported into France. On a trip to Paris he used 33 liters of gas. The​ tank, which he filled before starting the​ trip, holds 15 gallons of gas. How many liters of gas were left in the tank when he arrived in​ Paris?

Answer 1

First, we need to convert the capacity of the tank from gallons to liters.

1 gallon is equivalent to 3.78541 liters.

Therefore, 15 gallons x 3.78541 liters = 56.78 liters.

If Philippe used 33 liters of gas on his trip to Paris, then he had 56.78 - 33 = 23.78 liters of gas left in the tank when he arrived in Paris.
