Given:

A scooter consumes 28 litres of petrol covering a distance of 2100 km.

To Find:

Amount of petrol needed to cover a distance of 3600 km.

Solution:

To find the amount of petrol needed to cover a distance of 3600 km. we will follow the following steps:

As we know,

Petrol needed to cover 2100 km = 28 litres.

$Petrol \: needed \: to \: cover \: 1 km \: = \frac{28}{2100} \: litres$

$Petrol \: needed \: to \: cover \: 3600 km \: = \frac{28}{2100} \times 3600 \: litres \: = \: \frac{100800}{2100} \: litres \: = 48 \: litres$

Henceforth, petrol needed to cover 3600 km is 48 litres.
