Using the conversions above, a bus that uses 10 liters of gasoline to travel 100 kilometers would have an efficiency rating closest to:

A) 15 miles per gallon
B) 24 miles per gallon
C) 38 miles per gallon
D) 60 miles per gallon

In the US, the measure is usually miles per gallon. Greater efficiency is indicated by a higher value. Since we want the efficiency expressed in miles per gallon, we need to divide distance by fuel consumption.

(distance)/(fuel used) = (100 km)/(10 L)

= (100 km)/(10 L) × (1 mi)/(1.6 km) × (3.8 L)/(1 gal) = (100×3.8)/(10×1.6) mi/gal

= 23.75 mi/gal ≈ 24 mi/gal

Using the conversions above, a bus that uses 10 liters of gasoline to travel 100 kilometers would have an efficiency rating closest to:A) 15 miles per gallon B) 24 miles per gallon C) 38 miles per gallon D) 60 miles per gallon
