Question

6. A vehicle covers a distance of 43.2 km in 2.4 litres of petrol. How much distance will

it cover in one litre of petrol?​

Answer 1

18 km

Explanation:

set up a ratio:

for 2.4 liters of petrol, 43.2 km is covered

for 1 liter of petrol, x km is covered

so 2.4/43.2 is equal to 1/x

cross multiply:

2.4x = 43.2

simplify:

x=18

the vehicle will cover 18 km in one liter of petrol
