A new hybrid car sold in the United States reports a fuel usage of 52mpg. Write the equivalent rate in kilometers per liter. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth, if necessary.

Conversion Factors

16 ounces (oz)1 pound (lb)

1 pound (lb)0.454 kilogram (kg)

3 feet (ft)1 yard (yd)

2.54 centimeters (cm)1 inch (in.)

1 mile (mi)1.61 kilometers (km)

1 gallon (gal)3.785 liters (L)

To convert the fuel efficiency from miles per gallon (mpg) to kilometers per liter (km/L), we need to follow these steps:

1. **Convert miles to kilometers**: 
   - 1 mile = 1.61 kilometers.
   - Therefore, 52 miles = \( 52 \times 1.61 \) kilometers.

2. **Convert gallons to liters**: 
   - 1 gallon = 3.785 liters.

3. **Calculate kilometers per liter (km/L)**:
   - Divide the total kilometers by the total liters.

Let's calculate this step by step.The equivalent fuel efficiency of 52 miles per gallon (mpg) is approximately **22.12 kilometers per liter (km/L)**.
