Question

A car uses 8.4 liters of petrol for a 112 mile journey. When the tank is full, the car holds 54 liters of petrol. How far should the car be able to travel on a full tank of petrol.

Answer 1

720 miles

Explanation:

A car uses 8.4 liters of petrol for a 112 mile journey.

In 1 litres =
`(112)/(8.4)\ \text{miles}` of journey

We need to find far should the car be able to travel on a full tank of petrol i.e. 54 litres of petrol.

`54\ l=(112)/(8.4)* 54\\\\=720\ \text{miles}`

So, the car can travel 720 miles when it holds 54 lirres of petrol.
