Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

distance litres

240 16

1200 x

By cross multiplication method-

1200×16÷240

=19200÷240

=80

therefore, 80 litres of petrol will be needed to cover 1200 km

Answer 2

distance travelled by a car in 16 litres= 240

distance travelled per litre= 240/16= 30/2= 15km

Therefore, petrol required to travel 1200km

= 1200km/15km/l

= 400l/5

= 80 l
