    To answer the question, convert your mileage from mi/gal to km/L using the conversion factors given.

    (31.0 mi/gal) x (1 km / 0.6214 mi) x (1 gal / 3.78 L) = 13.20 km/L

    Divide the the distance by the converted mileage.

    (142 km) / (13.20 km/L) = 10.79 L

    Thus, you need to buy approximately 10.79 liters of gasoline.

    We need to convert the mileage from mi/gal units into to km/L units using the conversion factors.

    (31.0 mi/gal) x (1 km / 0.6214 mi) x (1 gal / 3.78 L) = 13.20 km/L

    Next, we divide the distance by the mileage.

    (142 km) / (13.20 km/L) = 10.79 L

    Therefore, you need 10.79 liters of gasoline.
