Question

A car runs $16$km using $1$ litre of petrol. How much distance will it cover using $2¾$litre's of petrol.

Answer 1

Find the total distance:

Given,The total amount of distance travelled by car in $1litre$ of petrol $=16km$

Then,Total quantity of petrol $=2\frac{3}{4}litres=\frac{11}{4}litres$

The total amount of distance travelled by car in $\frac{11}{4}litresofpetrol=\frac{11}{4}\times 16$

$=11\times 4$

$=44km$
Hence, the total distance travelled by car in $2¾litresofpetrol=44km$.
