Question

a car runs 12km using 1litre petrol.how much distance will it cover using 2/3/4liters petrol
​

Answer 1

☞︎︎ Given :

$\: \: \: \: \: \:$

★ Distance covered = 12km

$\: \: \: \: \: \:$

★ Petrol needed to cover 12km = 1 litre

$\: \: \: \: \: \:$

★ Petrol used = 2/3/4

$\: \: \: \: \: \:$

☞︎︎︎ To Find :

$\: \: \: \: \: \:$

★ Distance covered on 2/3/4 litre petrol

$\: \: \: \: \: \:$

☕︎ We know - Denominator of fraction = reciprocal

$\: \: \: \: \: \:$

☞︎︎︎ Solution :

$\: \: \: \: \: \:$

★ let Distance covered on 2/3/4 litre petrol be = x

$\: \: \: \: \: \:$

• On solving :

$\: \: \: \: \: \:$

❥︎ Distance travelled on 2/3/4 litre :

$\: \: \: \: \: \:$

= 2/3/4 × old distance

$\: \: \: \: \: \:$

$\looparrowright \rm{ \: \: \dfrac{ \dfrac{2}{3} }{4} \: \: \times \: 16 }$

$\: \: \: \: \: \:$

$\implies \: \mathtt{\dfrac{2 \times 3}{4} \times 16 }$

$\: \: \: \: \: \:$

$\implies \mathtt{ \: \dfrac{6}{4} \times 16}$

$\: \: \: \: \: \:$

$\implies \mathtt{ \: 6 \times 4}$

$\: \: \: \: \: \:$

$\large \boxed{ \boxed{ \mathtt{ \: = 24km}}}$

$\: \: \: \: \: \:$

$\therefore$ Distance covered by car on 2/3/4 litre petrol = 24km

$\: \: \: \: \: \:$
