Answer

$767 miles$. Based on the rating the car can travel 767 miles on 76.5 L of gasoline.

Work Step by Step

Using the conversion factor between gallons and liters, the mileage of the car can be found in miles/L and the amount of gasoline in liters can be divided by the mileage to determine the number of miles the car can travel on that amount. $38 \frac{miles}{gallon} \times \frac{1 gallon}{3.78541 L} = 10.0385427 miles/L$ $76.5 Liters \times 10.0385427 \frac{miles}{Liter} = 767 miles$
