Answer:  44 km

===============================================

Work shown:

3/4 = 0.75

2 3/4 = 2 & 3/4 = 2 + 3/4 = 2 + 0.75 = 2.75

We can form a proportion and solve for x like so

(16 km)/(1 liter) = (x km)/(2.75 liters)

16/1 = x/2.75

16*2.75 = 1*x .... cross multiplication

44 = x

x = 44

The car will cover a distance of 44 km
