Question

A car consumes 8 litres of petrol in covering a distance of 100 km. How many
kilometres will it travel in 26 litres of petrol?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

$\textbf{\underline{\underline{Given\:That:}}}$

A car Consumers 8 Liters of Petrol in 100 km.

$\textbf{\underline{\underline{To\:Find : }}}$

How many kilometre it will travel in 26 litre of Petrol?

Let the distance travelled be x

If Distance Will Increase then Requirement of Petrol will also be Increase. Hence, This is Case of Direct Variation.

Refer to The Attachment

$\textbf{\underline{\underline{According\:To\:Question: }}}$

$\sf \: \dfrac{8}{100} = \dfrac{26}{x}$

$\sf \: x = \dfrac{26 \times 100}{8}$

$\sf \: x = \dfrac{2600}{8}$

$\sf \: x = 325$

Hence, It will cover 325 km in 26 litre of Petrol.

Answer 2

8 litres petrol distance covered by car= 100km

1 litre of petrol distance covered by car = 100\8 = 12.5

26 liters of petrol distance covered by car = 26× 12.5= 325km
