Answer 1

To convert kilometers to miles, you can use the following formula:

\[ \text{miles} = \frac{\text{kilometers}}{1.61} \]

Given that Timmy's van travels 30 kilometers per gallon of fuel, we can substitute this value into the formula:

\[ \text{miles} = \frac{30 \text{ kilometers}}{1.61} \approx 18.634 \]

Now, rounding this to the nearest tenth:

\[ 18.634 \approx 18.6 \]

Therefore, Timmy's van travels approximately 18.6 miles per gallon of fuel.
