0.8
1.4

Answer 1

Explanation:

if our motorcycle use 70 miles per gallon

and 1mile=1.6 km

the motorcycle travels 70*1.6=112 km per gallon

for 60 km it needs

60/112=0.54 gallons

Answer 2

We have the following given
mileage = 70 miles per gallon
distance = 60 km

Required: amount of fuel in gallons

First, we must convert the distance to miles, so
60 km (1 mi/1.6 km) = 37.5 mi

So, the amount of fuel is
37.5 mi / (70 mi/gal) = 0.54 gallons
