Question

A car covers 20 km using 1 L of petrol. Find the distance it can cover using 5 1/5 L of petrol.

Answer 1

So, distance covered by car using 5 1/ 5 L petrol is 104 km.

Answer 2

Answer:

Given: A car covers 20 km using 1 L of petrol.

To find: Here we have to find how much distance car can cover using 515 L of petrol.

Solution:

$5 \frac{1}{5} = \frac{26}{5}$

Now,

Distance covered by car using 1 L petrol = 20 km

So,

Distance covered by car using 

$5 \ \frac{1}{5}$

 L petrol = 20 × 265 km

Distance covered by car using 

$5 \frac{1}{5}$

L petrol = 4 ×26 km

Distance covered by car using

$5\frac{1}{5}$

L petrol = 104 km

So, distance covered by car using 

$5 \frac{1}{5}$

L petrol is 104 km.
