Question

a vehicle covers a distance of 37.8 kilometer in 1.4 litres of petrol .how much distance will it cover in one litre of petrol

Answer 1

Distance covered by the vehicle in 1.4 l of petrol = 37.8 km

Distance covered by the vehicle in 1 l of petrol = 37.8/1.4 (We have took 1.4 on the other side)

= 378/14 (decimal would be eliminated by decimal)

= 27 km

On the basis of information provided by you, the vehicle would cover up a distance of 27 kms using a single litre petrol.

Answer 2

Answer:

Vehicle covers 27 km distance in 1 L of petrol .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :-

• distance covered :- 37.8 km , in 1.4L of petrol

To find :-

• Distance covered in 1L of petrol .

Solution :-

Step 1) This question can be solved by applying ratio and proportion concept .

distance (km)       petrol required (L)

37.8                          1.4

x                                1

Let , the distance to be found out be ' x ' km

Step 2) Therefore ,

$\frac{37.8}{x} =\frac{1.4}{1}$

$37.8*1 = x*1.4 \\x = \frac{37.8}{1.4} \\x = 27$

Thus , the answer is 27 km
