Question

Drove 260 km using 12 liters of gas at this rate how many liters of gas would he need to drive 286km

Answer 1

We calculate the amount of gas used per km and multiply it by 286

Explanation:

If we drive for 260km and use 12 litres of gas that means that we use

`(12)/(260)` litres per km.

Now we multiply it by 286:

`(12)/(260) *286 = (858)/(65) = 13.2`

So, the answer is 13.2 litres.
