Explanation of Solution

(i) The amount of gasoline in liters and gallons if Chevrolet All-Electric Volt was driven for 12,000 miles or 19,300 kilometers annually can be calculated as:

The given information is described as follows:

$\begin{array}{c}\text{1}\text{mile}\text{=}\text{1}\text{.6}\text{kilometers}\\ \text{1}\text{liter}\text{=}\text{0}\text{.265}\text{gallon}\\ \text{Therefore,}\text{1}\text{gallon}\text{=}\text{3}\text{.77}\text{liters}\end{array}$

Chevrolet gives 119 miles per gallon, so value in kilometers per liter can be calculated as:

$\begin{array}{c}\text{119}\text{×}\text{1}\text{.6}\text{=}\text{190}\text{.4}\text{kilometers}\\ \text{So,}\text{190}\text{.4}\text{km}\text{per}\text{gallon}\text{=}\raisebox{1ex}{$\text{190}\text{.4}\text{km}$}\!\left/ \!\raisebox{-1ex}{$\text{3}\text{.77}\text{l}$}\right.\\ \text{=}\text{50}\text{.50}\text{km}\text{per}\text{liter}\text{.}\end{array}$

Therefore, the amount of gasoline in liters and gallons can be calculated as follows:

$\begin{array}{c}\text{In}\text{liters:}\\ \raisebox{1ex}{$\text{19300}$}\!\left/ \!\raisebox{-1ex}{$\text{50}\text{.50}$}\right.\\ \text{=}\text{382}\text{.1}\text{liters}\end{array}$

$\begin{array}{c}\text{In}\text{gallons:}\\ \raisebox{1ex}{$\text{12000}$}\!\left/ \!\raisebox{-1ex}{$\text{119}$}\right.\\ \text{=}\text{100}\text{.84}\text{gallons}.\end{array}$
