Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the number of gallons needed

The car holds 19 gallons and has 8 gallons remaining. So the number of gallons needed is \(19 - 8=11\) gallons.

Step2: Convert gallons to liters

We know that 1 gallon is approximately 3.785 liters. So for 11 gallons, the number of liters is \(11\times3.785 = 41.635\) liters.

Step3: Round to the nearest liter

Rounding \(41.635\) to the nearest liter, we look at the decimal part. Since \(0.635\gt0.5\), we round up. So \(41.635\approx42\) liters.

Answer:

42
