Answer:

6 liters of gasoline

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, 1 km = 0.6214 miles

Therefore, 100 km = 0.6214 × 100 = 62.14 miles

∵ For 431.8 miles of driving Joshua required amount of gasoline = 10.4 gallons

∴ For 1 mile of driving gasoline required = [tex]\frac{10.4}{431.8}[/tex] gallons

∴ Gasoline required to drive 62.14 miles = [tex]\frac{10.4}{431.8}\times 62.14[/tex] gallons

                                                                   = 1.4967

                                                                   ≈ 1.5 gallons

∵ 1 gallon of gasoline = 3.8 liters

∴ 1.5 gallons of gasoline = 3.8×1.5

                                        = 5.7

                                        ≈ 6 liters

The number of liters of fuel should be 6 liters.

Calculation of number of liters:

Since distance of 431.8 miles, and it required 10.4 gallons of gasoline (petrol).

So,

Since, 1 km = 0.6214 miles

Now

100 km = 0.6214 × 100 = 62.14 miles

The number of liters should be

[tex]= 10.4 \div 431.8 \times 62.14 \times 3.8[/tex]

= 6 liters
