Question

A bus covers 72 km on 6 litres of petrol. How many kilometres can it cover on 16 litres of petrol?​

Answer 1

Answer:

192

Step-by-step explanation:

72/6=12 kms for 1 litre... for 16 litres=16*12=192

Answer 2

Answer:

72km =6 litres

X km= 16 litres

More petrol, more travel

= direct variation

= 6×X= 16×72

$x = \frac{72 \times 16}{6} \\ = x = 9 \times 16 = 162$

So, the bus would travel 162 km on 16 litres of petrol.
