Question

11. An army truck needs 11 litres of diesel to cover a
distance of 852 km.
(a) What distance will it cover for 15 litres of
diesel ?
(b) How many litres of diesel are required to cover
a distance of 4,260 km ?



step by step​

Answer 1

a) distance travelled by 11 litres of diesel = 852 km

distance travelled by 1 litre of diesel = 852/11

distance travelled by 15 litres of diesel = 852/11 X 15

= 1161.81 km

b) quantity of diesel required to cover 4260 km = 11/852 X 4260

= 55 litres
