Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Direct proportion

let the required litres of diesel be x

594/108=1650/x

by cross multiplication

108×1650=594x

x=300

Answer 2

Answer:

300 litres

Step-by-step explanation:

By law of proportions:

594:108 :: 1650 : x

product of means =  product of extremes

594 * x  = 108 * 1650

=> x = 108 * 1650 / 594

       = 300 Litres.

    (OR)

To cover 594 KM, truck requires 108 litres

=> to cover 1 km, truck will require 108/594 litres.

Now to cover 1650 km, truck will require

                      = 1650 * 108/594 = 300 litres
