Question

A car uses 20 litres to cover a distance of 150km, how many litres shall the same car use to cover a distance of 45km?

Answer 1

Explanation:

amount taken by the car to cover 150 km of distance= 20 liters

(which is given to us)

amount which the car takes to cover 1 km=20/150=0.133 liters

now we can calculate the amount that the vehicle will consume by travelling 45 km ,

the amount consumed by the car = 0.133*45

=5.985 litres

Answer 2

6 litres

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, you can set up a proportion based on the given information:

The car uses 20 litres to cover 150 km.

Let's represent this as a ratio:

`\sf (20\: litres )/( 150\: km)`

Now you want to find out how many liters the car will use to cover 45 km. Let's represent this as a proportion:

`\sf (x \:litres )/( 45 \:km)`

Set up the proportion:

`\sf \sf (20\: litres )/( 150\: km) = \sf (x \:litres )/( 45 \:km)`

Criss Cross-multiply:

`\sf 20 * 45 = 150 * x`

`\sf 900 = 150x`

Now, solve for x:

`\sf x = (900 )/(150)`

`\sf x = 6`

So, the same car would use 6 liters to cover a distance of 45 km.
