Question

A car covers a distance of 12 .1 km
in 1.1 literes of petrol. How much
distance will it cover in one litre of
petrol?(Solve the following word problems.)​

Answer 1

Answer:

Car will cover 11 km.

Step-by-step explanation:

more the petrol, more distance will be covered.

so,it's a direct variation.

therefore, 1.1 : 12.1 : : 1 : x

Now, product of means = product of extremes

12.1 × 1 = 1.1 × x

x = 12.1 ÷ 1.1

x = 121 ÷ 11

x = 11

Hence, in 1 litre of petrol, car will cover 11 km.
