Answer 2

The track consumes ≅ 61 liters of fuel every 100 kilometres

Explanation:

As we can see in the graph, the total distance that the truck can travel with 500 liters of fuel is ≅ 825 kilometres.

For answering the question properly, we use the Rule of Three Simple, this way:

Kilometres Liters of fuel

825 500

100 x

Solving for x, we have:

825 * x = 500 * 100

825x = 50,000

x = 50,000/825

x = 60.6 liters of fuel (61 rounding to the next whole)

x ≅ 61 liters of fuel

The track consumes ≅ 61 liters of fuel every 100 kilometres
