Explanation:

Answer 2

Patricia will run 132 kilometers with 11 liters of gas.

Explanation:

The given table is representing the distance driven by Patricia for every liter of gas she puts in her car.

With 3 liters of gas she drives 36 kilometers.

This means in one liter of gas distance covered by the car =
`(36)/(3)=12` kilometers.

Similarly if the car runs 48 kilometers in 4 liters of gas then per liter distance covered by the gas will be =
`(48)/(4)=12` kilometers

Now with 11 liters of gas distance covered by the car will be = 11×12

= 132 kilometers

Therefore, with 11 liters of gas Patricia can run 132 kilometers.
