Question

Marie's dad drives an SUV that uses 2.5 litres of fuel for every 20 km driven. He drives to work 20 km each way, 5 days a week. How much fuel does he use to get to work every week?

Answer 1

Answer: 12.5 litres

Explanation:

The SUV takes 2.5 litres for every 20 km driven.

The trip to work is 20 km which means that going to work costs Marie's father 2.5 litres every day in fuel.

In a week, there are 5 working days.

The amount of fuel used per week is therefore:

= 2.5 * 5

= 12.5 litres
