Question

A car covers a distance of 44.5 km in 2.4 litres of petrol.
How much distance will it cover in 1.5 litres of petrol?​

Answer 1

Answer:

27.8125 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Let required distance is x

Distance Litre

44.5 2.4

x 1.5

x/44.5 = 1.5/2.4

x2.4 = 1.5×44.5

x2.4 = 66.75

x = 66.75/2.4

x = 27.81

Car will cover 27.8125km distance in 1.5 litre

All the best

Answer 2

Let distance be taken as 'x'. Given distance covered by car = 44.5km

By using the unitary method, we can get the required distance that car needs to be travelled in 1.5l of petrol

⫸ In 2.4l, car travels = 44.5 km

⫸ So in 1l, car travels = 44.5km ÷ 2.4l

⫸ Therefore, in 1.5l car travels = (44.5 ÷ 2.4) × 1.5l = 27.8km

∴ 27.8km is the distance that car can travel in 1.5l of petrol.
