1. Distance travellled by automobile = 81.8km

• 81.8km x (1 mile /1.609km) = 50.839 miles

2. Volume of gasoline used = 4.79L

• 4.79 L * (1gallon/3.78L) =1.267 gallons.

3. Gas Mileage = Distance / Volume

=50.839 miles/ 1.267 gallons.

=40.125 miles/gallons

• This means that gas milleage is 40.125miles/gallons .
