Answer 2

$\huge\mathscr{\underline{Explanation:}}$

Given that:-

• A vehicle covers a distance of 43.2 km in 2.4 litres of petrol .

To find:-

• How much distance will it cover in one litre of petrol ?

_____________________________

From the question, it is given that,

Total distance covered by vehicle in 2.4 litres of petrol = 43.2 km

Then,

Distance covered in 1 litre of petrol = 43.2 ÷ 2.4

= (432/10) ÷ (24/10)

= (432/10) × (10/24)

= (432 × 10)/ (10 × 24)

= (36 × 1)/ (1 × 2)

= (18 × 1)/ (1 × 1)

= 18 km

∴Total distance covered in 1 liter of petrol is 18 km.
