Question

A car runs $16km$ using $1$ litre of petrol. How much distance will it cover using $2\frac{3}{4}$ litres of petrol?

Answer 1

In $1$ litres of petrol, car covers the distance $=16km$

In $2\frac{\text{3}}{\text{4}}$ litres of petrol, car covers the distance $=\text{2}\frac{\text{3}}{\text{4}}\times 16km=\frac{\text{11}}{\text{4}}\times 16=44km$

Thus, car will cover $44km$ distance using $2\frac{3}{4}$ litres of petrol.
