Question

Example 4: A car can travel 360 km consuming 24 litres of petrol. How much
petrol will it consume while travelling through a distance of 480 km?

Answer 1

Answer:

32 L is the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance travelled in 24L = 360km

Distance travelled in 1L = 360/24 = 15km

petrol needed for 480km = 15l

= 480/15 = 32L

Answer 2

Answer:

32 litres

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance travelled = 360 km

Petrol Consumed = 24 litres

∴ For one litre of petrol,

Distance travelled = 360/24

                               = 15km

Let the petrol consumed be 'x' litres

Distance travelled using one litre of petrol = 15km

∴ Distance travelled using 'x' litres of petrol = 480 km

∴ Petrol consumed = 480/15

∴ Petrol consumed = 32
