# Question in description! Thank you!

You were on a trip through Ireland in a beat-up rental that gets 22.6 miles per gallon but only while maintaining average a speed of around 80.3 km/hr. How much, in $U.S. dollars, will it cost to fill the tank back up, assuming you started with a full tank 3.5 hours ago at the given speed? This problem is all about unit conversion, etc. It doesn't seem like it should be extremely difficult, but I am having some trouble with it. Thanks! ## 1 Expert Answer By: John C. Thank you! What if these are the numbers? The value of the Euro is currently$0.93 U.S. and the price of 1 liter of gasoline in Ireland is 1.604 Euro.

I'm on my phone now so it's harder, but here goes. I'll set it up. You want your answer in dollars.

7.72 gallons * 0.26 liters/1gallon * 1.604 euro/1 liter * 0.93 $/1 euro = ?$

Simple multiplication now.
