Question

A truck travelling at 70 kilometres per hour uses30% more diesel to travel a certain distance than it does when it travels at the speed of 50 kilometres per hour. If the truck can travel 19.5 kilometres on a litre of diesel at 50 kilometres per hour, how far can the truck travel on 10 litres of diesel at a speed of 70 kilometres per hour? (1) 130

Answer 1

Answer:

"A truck travelling at 70 MPH uses 30% more gasoline to travel a certain distance than at 50 MPH."

So if the truck uses 1 litre to travel 19.5 miles at 50 mph, it will take 1.3 litres of gasoline to travel 19.5 miles at 70 mph.

So in 1 litre, it will travel only 19.5 * (1/1.3) = 15 miles

The question is missing the amount of fuel consumed. I assume it asks the distance traveled using 10 litres of gasoline. Then the answer would be 150 miles.
