Answer 1

Answer:

PETROL CONSUMED BY SCOOTER IN 85 KM =2.5L

PETROL CONSUMED BY IT IN 1 KM = 2.5/85

=0.029L

PETROL CONSUMED BY IT IN 340 KM = 340×0.029

=10 L

YOUR ANSWER IS 10 L.

Answer 2

Answer:

for covering 340 km, the scooter will consume = 9.86 litre

Step-by-step explanation:

given, 2.5 Litre petrol is consumed for covering a distance of 85 km

2.5 ----- 85

quantity of petrol consumed for 1 km =  $\frac{2.5}{85}$ = 0.029 litre

now, the scooter has to cover a distance of 340 km

and, for covering 340 km the scooter will consume  = 340 × 0.029 = 9.86

      = 9.86 litre

therefore, the scooter will consume 9.86 litres of petrol to cover a distance of 340 km
