Problem 1P: Chapter: CH7 Problem: 1P

The fuel efficiency of an automobile is measured in mi/gal (miles per U.S. gallon) or in km/L (kilometers per liter). Write a
MATLAB user-defined function that converts fuel efficiency values from km/L to mi/gal. For the function name and
arguments use mpg=kml TOmpg(kml). The input argument kml is the efficiency in km/L, and the output argument mpg is
the efficiency in mi/gal. Use the function in the Command Window to:

(a) Determine the fuel efficiency in mi/gal of a car that consumes 9 km/L.

(b) Determine the fuel efficiency in mi/gal of a car that consumes 14 km/L.

Step 2 of 4

The following is the MATLAB user-defined function that converts fuel efficiency values from km/L to mi/gal:

%This user defined function is used to convert fuel efficiency values from km/L to ml/gal

%1 kilometer / l = 2.35214583 mi / US gallon

function mpg=kmlTOmpg(kml)

mpg=kml*2.35214583;

Save this function as kmlTOmpg.m in the current folder

Step 3 of 4

The car consumes .

Run the MATLAB user-defined function kmlTOmpg.m by typing the following command in the MATLAB command
window:

>> mpg=kmlTOmpg(9)

The following is the MATLAB output:

mpg =

21.1693

Thus, the fuel efficiency of a car that consumes is .

Step 4 of 4

(b)

The car consumes .

Run the MATLAB user-defined function kmlTOmpg.m by typing the following command in the MATLAB command
window:

>> mpg=kmlTOmpg(14)

The following is the MATLAB output:

mpg =

32.9300

Thus, the fuel efficiency of a car that consumes is .
