Question

For every 19 litres of petrol a car can run for 50 km . How much petrol do you need ( to 1 DP ) to ensure the car has enough petrol of a trip that is 130 km

Answer 1

49.4 liters

Explanation:

we have the basic ratio between liters of petrol (gasoline) and distance driven :

19/50

now, the same ratio has to apply, when we talk about 130 km instead of just 50.

so,

19/50 = x/130

x = 130×19/50 = 13×19/5 = 49.4 liters

if I may add, this is a very bad or at least very, very big car based on today's standards ...
