Answer: 50.2 liters

Explanation:

11 liters = 50km

Z liters = 228km

To get the value of Z, cross multiply

228 x 11 = Z x 50

2508 = 50z

Divide both sides by 50

2508/50 = 50z/50

50.16 = z

50.16 has two decimal places, so convert to 1 decimal place by approximation

50.16 = 50.2

Thus, 50.2 liters will be enough for 228km
