Explanation:

1.

so 90 km on 17 liters.

that is a 90/17 ratio (or proportion).

that means it runs 90/17 km on 1 liter.

and therefore (90/17)×20 on 20 liters.

90×20/17 = 105.8823529... km

2.

the ratio is 66/22 based on the RPMs.

66/22 = 3/1 = 3

so, the larger gear has then 3×6 = 18 teeth.

3.

the ratio is 150/75 based on the RPMs.

the circumference of a circle is

2×pi×r

so, it is a linear relationship with the radius r (and therefore the diameter d).

so, the diameter of the larger pulley is 2×10 = 20 in

4.

the ratio here is 18/6.

18/6 = 3/1 = 3.

again, this relates to the circumference, which is a linear relationship with the radius or diameter.

the smaller gear has then 72/3 = 24 teeth.

5.

the ratio is 2/3.

so, the larger pulley has 3450×2/3 RPM.

= 2,300 RPM

6.

2.5 kg cost 110.

that is a 2.5/110 ratio :

and that means we get 2.5/110 kg for one unit of money.

and therefore we get 80 × 2.5/110 kg for 80 units of money.

80 × 2.5/110 = 8 × 2.5/11 = 20/11 = 1.818181818... kg
