Question

A bus travel 205km on 20 litres of petrol.how much petrol will be needed to cover a journey of 369 km?​

Answer 1

A: It’s more than 30 liters, as you can easily see. How much more?

Well, that extra 80 km. needs less than half of another 30 liters, surely?

Looks like the petrol needed is in proportion to kilometers traveled.

200 km for 30 liters

280 km for ? liters

The ratio of distances is 280 / 200

so the petrol ratio is in the same proportion. That would be

280/200 x 30 liters or 42 liters

Answer 2

Answer:

I think answer is 36 litres

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this in two methods

First method:-

For 205 km it takes 20 litres

For 369 km let it takes x litres

205 ❌ 20 ( cross multiply)

369 x

We will get 205x=369×20

x=7380÷205

x=36

Second Method:-

For 20 litres we can go 205 km

For one litre we can go 205÷20 km

For 369 km it takes =(205÷20)×369

=36

Hence the answer is 36 litres
