Answer 1

To convert kilometers to miles, you can use the conversion factor that 1 mile is approximately 1.61 kilometers.

Given that Timmy's van travels an average of 30 kilometers per gallon of fuel, you can calculate the number of miles traveled per gallon by using the following formula:

\[ \text{Miles} = \frac{\text{Kilometers}}{1.61} \]

Substituting in the kilometers:

\[ \text{Miles} = \frac{30 \text{ km}}{1.61} \approx 18.6 \text{ miles} \]

Rounding to the nearest tenth of a mile, the answer is 18.6 miles per gallon.

So the correct response is:

18.6
