Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To convert miles per gallon (mpg) to kilometers per liter (km/l), we need to divide 5 by 2.352 (which is the conversion factor for miles to kilometers and gallons to liters). This gives us 2.12 km/l. Therefore, in traveling 1 kilometer, Melissa's tractor-trailer would use about 0.47 liters of fuel. Choice C, about half a liter, is the closest answer.
