Part A:

You select a rental package that includes a car with an average consumption of 6.00/rm liters of fuel per 100/rm km. Considering that in Europe the average fuel cost is 1.063/rm Euros/ liter, how much (in US dollars) will you spend in fuel on your trip? ___> 5,000km


Part B:

How many gallons of fuel would the rental care consume per mile?

Verified Answer :

Part A:
( 5,000 : 100 ) 6 = 300 lit.
300 lit.  
1.066 Euros/ lit. = 318.9 Euros
1 Euro = 1.20 USD
318.9 1.20 = 382.68 USD

Part B :
6 lit./100 km = 0.06 lit/1 km
1 gal = 3.7853 lit.
1 mile = 1.609344 km
0.06 : 3.7853 = 0.01585
... = 0.01585 gal / 1 km  /
1.609344
= 0.0255 gal/mile

(a). The fuel expense of the car in the complete trip in US dollars is \(\boxed{\$\,354}\).

(b). The fuel consumed in gallons per mile is \(\boxed{0.0254\text{ gallons/mile}}\).

Explanation:

Given:

The price of the fuel in Europe is \(1.063\text{ euros/ltr}\).

The amount of fuel required for every \(100\text{ km}\) is \(6.00\text{ ltr}\).

Part (A):

Concept:

The value of one euro equivalent to the US dollar is \(\$\,1.11\).

The cost of the fuel in terms of the US dollar is:

\(\begin{aligned}c&=1.063\text{ euros/ltr}\left(\dfrac{\$\,1.11}{1\text{ euro}}\right)\\&=\$\,1.18\text{ USD/ltr}\end{aligned}\)

Since the car consumes \(6\text{ ltr}\) of fuel during the journey of \(100\text{ km}\), the total fuel consumed by the car in the trip of \(5000\text{ km}\) is:

\(\begin{aligned}n&=\dfrac{6\text{ ltr}}{100\text{ km}}\times(5000\text{ km})\\&=300\text{ ltr}\end{aligned}\)

The fuel consumed by the car in the whole trip of \(5000\text{ km}\) is \(300\text{ ltr}\).

The fuel expense for the trip of \(5000\text{ km}\) can be obtained as:

\(\begin{aligned}\text{ cost}&=1.18\text{ USD/ltr}\times(300\text{ ltr})\\&=\$\,354\text{ USD}\end{aligned}\)

Thus, the price of the fuel of the car in the complete trip in US dollars is \(\boxed{\$\,354}\).

Part (B):

Concept:

The distance covered by the car in covering one mile is equivalent to \(1.61\text{ km}\).

The amount of fuel consumed by the car in covering one mile is:

\(\begin{aligned}v^{'}&=1.6\text{ km}\times\dfrac{6\text{ ltr}}{100\text{ km}}\\&=0.096\text{ ltr}\end{aligned}\)

The volume of oil consumed in terms of gallons per mile is:

\(\begin{aligned}v^{'}&=0.096\text{ ltr}\times\dfrac{1\text{ gallon}}{3.78\text{ ltr}}\\&=0.0254\text{ gallons}\end{aligned}\)

Thus, the fuel consumed in gallons per mile is \(\boxed{0.0254\text{ gallons/mile}}\).
