For this case we must perform a conversion of gallons to liters.

By definition, we have to:

1 gallon equals 3,78541 liters. By making a rule of three we have:

1 ----------------> 3.78541

12.8 -----------> x

Where "x" represents the amount of liters equivalent to 12.8 gallons.

$x = \frac {12.8 * 3.78541} {1}\\x = 48.453248$

Thus, 12.8 gallons of gasoline equals 48.453248 liters.

Rounding, we have: 48.45 liters

ANswer:

48.45 liters
