Answer 1

a. 35 Kilometres.

b. 60 litres.

c. 8150 sweets.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

• Distance traveled = 770 km
• Number of days = 22 days

a. To find how many kilometres he traveled in one day;

770 km = 22 days

X km = 1 day

Cross-multiplying, we have;

22X = 770

X = 770/22

X = 35 Kilometres.

b. To find how many litres he would need to go 840 km;

1 litre = 14 kilometres

X litres = 840

Cross-multiplying, we have;

14X = 840

X = 840/14

X = 60 litres.

c. To find how many sweets are there in his car;

Number of sweet box, Ns = 326 boxes

Number of sweets in each box, Sw = 25 sweets

Total number of sweets = Ns * Sw

Total number of sweets = 326 * 25

Total number of sweets = 8150 sweets.
