Answer

The car can travel $677.42 miles$

Work Step by Step

Using the conversion factor between gallons and liters, the mileage of the car can be found in km/gallon and the amount of gasoline in liters can be multiplied by the mileage to determine the number of km the car can travel on that amount. Then finally the km can be converted to miles. $12.8 \frac{km}{L}×\frac{3.785 L}{1 Gallons} = 48.45327km/gallon$ $22.5 Gallons\times48.45327\frac{km}{Gallons}=1090.198575 km$ $1090.198575 km\times\frac{1 mile}{1.609 km} = 677.42 miles$
