(1) How much distance will it travel in 8 hours?
(i) How much petrol will it consume ?​

Answer 1

Find the distance traveled in 8 hours:

1 hour = 13 km 500 m

1 hour = 13.5 km

8 hours = 13.5 x 8

8 hours = 108 km

Find the amount of petrol consumed:

6 km = 1 litre

1 km = 1/6 litres

108 km = 1/6 x 108

108 km = 18 litres
