Amelia used 
\[6\] liters of gasoline to drive 
\[48\] kilometers.
How many kilometers did Amelia drive per liter?
 kilometers
At that rate, how many liters does it take to drive 
\[1\] kilometer?
 liters

Let's solve these problems step by step.

### Part 1: Kilometers per liter
Amelia used 6 liters of gasoline to drive 48 kilometers. To find out how many kilometers she drove per liter, we use the formula:
\[
\text{Kilometers per liter} = \frac{\text{Total kilometers}}{\text{Total liters}}
\]
Substituting the given values:
\[
\text{Kilometers per liter} = \frac{48 \text{ km}}{6 \text{ liters}} = 8 \text{ km/liter}
\]
So, Amelia drove **8 kilometers per liter**.

### Part 2: Liters per kilometer
To find out how many liters it takes to drive 1 kilometer, we use the reciprocal of the kilometers per liter value:
\[
\text{Liters per kilometer} = \frac{1}{\text{Kilometers per liter}}
\]
Substituting the value we calculated:
\[
\text{Liters per kilometer} = \frac{1}{8} = 0.125 \text{ liters/km}
\]
So, it takes **0.125 liters to drive 1 kilometer**.

### Tip:
Always remember that "kilometers per liter" (km/l) indicates how far you can drive on one liter of fuel, while "liters per kilometer" (l/km) shows the fuel needed to travel a specific distance.
