To find out how many gallons of gasoline will fit into a 60-liter gas tank, we need to use the conversion factor from liters to gallons provided in the table. The table tells us that 1 gallon is equivalent to 3.8 liters.

Here's how you convert 60 liters to gallons step by step:

1. Identify the Conversion Factor: From the table, we know that 1 gallon = 3.8 liters. Therefore, the conversion factor from liters to gallons is [tex]$\frac{1 \text{ gallon}}{3.8 \text{ liters}}$[/tex].

2. Set up the Conversion: Multiply the number of liters by the conversion factor to convert to gallons:
[tex]\[
\text{Gallons} = 60 \text{ liters} \times \frac{1 \text{ gallon}}{3.8 \text{ liters}}
\][/tex]

3. Calculate:
- When you multiply 60 liters by the conversion factor [tex]$\frac{1}{3.8}$[/tex], you get approximately 15.79 gallons.

So, a 60-liter gas tank holds approximately 15.8 gallons of gasoline.

Thus, the correct answer is C. 15.8 gallons.
