Answer 1

Explanation:

This is a proportion question which is 2 ratios which are equal to one another. If 3 of the 4 parts are known, the 4th part can be calculated.

36 liters.

36 km/3 Liters = x / 36 multiply both sides by 36

36*36 / 3 = x

1296/3 = x

x = 432 km

So on 36 L he can go 432 km

3 liters

Given as 36 km

48 liters

36km/3 liters = x / 48 liters Multiply both sides by 48

48*36/3 = x

576 km = x

So on 48 liters, he can go 576 km

132 liters

36 km/ 3 liters = x/132

x = 1564 km

On 132 liters Pat can go 1564 km
