Question

a car can travel 240 km in 15 L of petrol
how many litres of petrol will be required to cover 160 km?​

Answer 1

Answer:

it is easy by doing ratio and proportion

KM : Litre : : KM : Litre

240: 15. : : 160 : x

inner multiply by inner and outer multiply by outer so,

(15 × 160) ÷ 240 = x

2400 ÷ 240 = x

10 = x

so, 10 litre petrol is needed for 160 km

Step-by-step explanation:

KM : Litre : : KM : Litre

240: 15. : : 160 : x

inner multiply by inner and outer multiply by outer so,

(15 × 160) ÷ 240 = x

2400 ÷ 240 = x

10 = x

so, 10 litre petrol is needed for 160 km

Answer 2

240 km - 16 liters

1500 km - (x) liters

240*x= 16*1500

x= 16*1500/240

x= 100 liters required for 1500 km

hope it helps u ! have a great day
