Philippe had an American car imported into France. On a trip to Paris he used 34 liters of gas. The​ tank, which he filled before starting the​ trip, holds 16 gallons of gas. How many liters of gas were left in the tank when he arrived in​ Paris?

1 answer

First, we need to convert the gallons into liters. There are 3.78541 liters in 1 gallon.

16 gallons * 3.78541 liters = 60.56 liters

Philippe used 34 liters of gas during the trip.

Therefore, the remaining gas in the tank when he arrived in Paris was:

60.56 liters - 34 liters = 26.56 liters

So, there were 26.56 liters of gas left in the tank when he arrived in Paris.
