Question

.A car can travel 3.5Km on 30 litres of petrol. How far the car can travel, If it has 50 litres of petrol in its tank?

Answer 1

Given:

A car can travel 3.5 km on 30 litres of petrol.

To find:

The distance a car can cover if it has 50 litres of petrol in its tank.

Solution:

We have,

On 30 litres, a car can travel = 3.5 km

On 1 litre, a car can travel =
`(3.5)/(30)` km

On 50 litres, a car can travel =
`(3.5)/(30)* 50` km

=
`(3.5)/(3)* 5` km

=
`(17.5)/(3)` km

`\approx 5.83` km

Therefore, a car can travel 5.83 km on 50 litres.
