  1. 355mL = 0.355L.

    1 gal (US), = 3.8L.

    0.355L / 3.8 L/gal = 0.0934 gal x 57mi/gal.

    = 5.33 mi x 1.6km/mi = 8.5km.


  2. I'm assuming that the volume of the soda pop can that you indicated is in milliliters since it's only a can. (Note that the conversion factor used for converting gallons to milliliters is the US liquid unit for gallon)

    1mile = 1.609344km

    1gal = 3 785.411 784mL

    (57mi/gal) x (1.609344km/1mi) x (1gal/3 785.411 784mL) x 355mL

    Answer = 8.60 km
