Question

A car can travel 156 kilometers on 13 liters of gasoline. How much gasoline will it need to go 480 kilometers?

Answer 1

40

Explanation:

To find how much gasoline is needed for 480 kilometers, we will need to find how much is needed per kilometers:

13 liters is used for 156 kilometers

156/13 = 12 so 1 liter gasoline is spent per 12 kilometers

So for 480 kilometers we would need 40 liter gasoline because

480/12 = 40
