Question

A truck requires 108 litres of diesel for covering a distance of 594 km. How much diesel will be required by the truck to cover a distance of 1650 km?

Answer 1

Given

108 litres = 594 km

1 litre = 594 ÷ 108 = 5.5

1 litre = 5.5 km .

If 1 litre of diesel required to cover 5.5 km then how many litres required to cover 1650 km

5.5 km = 1 litre

1650 km = 1650 ÷ 5.5 = 300.

Hence : 300 litres of diesel required to cover 1650 km

$\bold{Answer \: : \: 300 \: Litres}$

Answer 2

$\large{\bold{\underline{Solution:}}}$


For covering 594 km, a truck will be required diesel = $\bold{108\:litres}$


∴ For covering 1 km, a truck will be required diesel = $\bold{ \frac{108} {594} = \frac{2}{11} }$


∴ For covering 1650 km, a truck will be required diesel = $\bold{ \frac{2}{11} \times 1650 = 300}$


Thus, $\bold{300\: litres}$ diesel required by the truck to cover a distance of 1650 km.
