Question

If a car covers 56.7 km in 4.5 liters of petrol, how many kilometers will it cover in 26 liters of petrol

Answer 1

The car will cover approximately 327.3 kilometers in 26 liters of petrol.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of kilometers the car will cover in 26 liters of petrol, we can set up a proportion.

Set up the proportion: √ Number of kilometers covered in 4.5 liters of petrol = 56.7 km

Number of kilometers covered in 26 liters of petrol = √ x

Now cross-multiply: (56.7)(26) = 4.5x

Divide both sides by 4.5 to solve for x: x = (56.7)(26) / 4.5

So, the car will cover approximately 327.3 kilometers in 26 liters of petrol.
