Question

A car requires 9 liters of gasoline to cover a distance of 108 km. If the car

spent 12.5 liters of gasoline, how far did the car travel?

Answer 1

Answer: 150km

Explanation:

The question says that the car required 9 litres of gasoline to cover 108km which means we and then derive that:

9L = 108km

And we are trying to find out how much distance can cover:

12.5L =?

Therefore, in order to find out the distance, we need to figure out how much distance can 1L take the car

therefore:

1L =
`(108km)/(9L)` = 12km

So if we know how far 1L can take us, we can just multiply 12.5 litres by the 12km to find out the distance:

12.5L × 12km = 150km

So, therefore, 12.5 litres can cover 150km.
