Answer 1

SOLUTION

GIVEN

• A certain homeowner uses a gas edger to clean up his lawn every time he mows.

• The edger uses 160 milliliter of fuel each time

TO DETERMINE

The maximum number of times the homeowner can edge his lawn with 8 litres of fuel (1 liter = 1,000 milliliter )

EVALUATION

Here 1 liter = 1,000 milliliter

∴ 8 liter = 8000 milliliter

Now it is given that

The edger uses 160 milliliter of fuel each time to clean up his lawn every time he mows

So the 1 milliliter of fuel can be used to clean his lawn for ( 1/160) times

∴ 8000 milliliter of fuel can be used to clean his lawn for ( 8000/160) times = 50 times

FINAL ANSWER

The maximum number of times the homeowner can edge his lawn with 8 litres of fuel is 50 times
