Answer:
a) 30 litres
b) i) 8 km/l ii) 6km/l
c) 20/3 km/ltr
Step-by-step explanation:
b) i) points are (0,15) and (80,5)
consumption = (15-5)/(0-80) = 8 km/l
ii) points are (80,35) and (200,15)
consumptions = (200-80)/(15-35) = 6 km/l
c) Avg consumption = total km/total litres
= 200/(10+20)
= 20/3 km/l
