Yes, 5.5 gal.
Explanation:
First, let's figure out how many liters of gas she can get. We will divide 33 euros by 1.5 euros/liter.
She can get 22 liters. Since 1 liter is close to 1 quart (qt), we can say that 22 liters is close to 22 quarts. Now we can convert quarts to gallons.
You are correct to say that she can get about 5.5 gallons.
