A world record was set in the Eco-Marathon by French team in 2003 called Microjoule with a performance of 10,705 miles per galon.The Microjoule runs on ethanol. Write a MATLAB program to determine how far the Microjoule will travel in kilometers given a user-specified amount of ethanol, provided in units of grams. For your test case, you may assume that the user provides 100 grams of ethanol.

Explanation / Answer

den=2986.69; %density of ehonol n gm/gal
milage=10705; %milage in mile/gal
fuel=input('Enter the fuel in gms:');
distance=fuel*milage/den;
fprintf('distance can travel in is %i miles ',distance)

%OutPut.....

Enter the fuel in gms:100
distance can travel in is 3.584235e+002 miles
