Question

a car consumes 4.5 litres of petrol to cover a distance of 76.5km how many litres of petrol will be consumed if a distance of 136km is to be covered?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Set up a proportion to solve. Let x = distance it will cover in 15.5 litres. Then:

(14.75 km) / (1 litre) = (x km) / (15.5 litres)

(14.75)(15.5) = 1x

228.625 = x

It will cover 228.625 km.

Answer 2

Given - Petrol consumption and distance

Find - Petrol consumed in 136 km distance

Solution - The car requires 8 litres of petrol to cover the distance of 136 kilometres.

The distance of 76.5 kilometres requires 4.5 litres of petrol.

So, the distance of 136 kilometres will require = 4.5*136/76.5

Performing multiplication and division to get the value.

Petrol required for 136 kilometres = 8 litres

Therefore, the car requires 8 litres of petrol to cover the distance of 136 kilometres.
