Answer 1

Explanation:

Lsat month, harri drove 850 miles in his car. his car's fuel consumption is 45.6 miles per gallon. petrol cost £1.09 per litre. given that 8pints = 1gallon, work out how much Harri spent on fuel last month. You must show working out.

a) 45.6 miles per gallon

45.6 miles = 1 gallon

850 miles = x

Cross Multiply

x = 850/45.6

x = 18.640350877 gallons

b) 8pints = 1gallon,

8 pints = 3.785 litres

1 gallon = 3.785 litree

18.640350877 gallons = y

Cross Multiply

18.640350877 litres × 3.785

= 70.5537280694 gallons

c) 1 litres = £1.09

70.5537280694 litres = z

Cross Multiply

z = 70.5537280694 × £ 1.09

z = £76.9035635957

Approximately = £76.904

Answer 2
