How to convert KM per L to L per 100 KM

Say the dial on our car says  8.4KM per L (1L) and want to convert this to L per 100 KM the formula to conver this is

Litre Used  / Distance in KM driven  * 100

1 L / 8.4 KM *100

1 / 8.4 * 100 = 11.9047619047619

Rounded down that 11.9L per 100KM

Let's try another example;

Say we had driven 557KM on 74 Liters  of fuel this would be

Litre / Distance * 100

74 / 557 * 100  = 13.28545780969479

Rounded down 13.2 Liters per 100  KM.

Google Why did you take a simple messaging platform and make messaging so hard?

In the beginning there was SMS.

Then data plans exploded. There was now SMS and IM.

So google brought out Gchat and SMS functions to Android.

After a while a very smart cookie in google said  "IM is very much like SMS why don't we combine the both into one?" shortly after that Hangouts is what came from that.

I was happy, I could see all my SMS and IM in the one conversation.

Then google decided that this needed to change..

So Google brought out Allo, Duo, and Messenger.

No longer would I have conversations in one place like Hangouts, I had to open separate apps once again.  I now have to open different apps to talk to someone using Allo too.

This is how Google took a superb  product and did it's normal thing of retiring an app and replacing it with a less functional different product.

Bring back combined SMS And IM please google.
