Question

A truck requires $108$ litres of diesel for covering a distance of $1188$ km. How much diesel will be required by the truck to cover a distance of $3300$ km?

Answer 1

Step : Find the diesel required to cover the distance of $3300$ km
Given: Truck requires 108 litres of diesel to cover a distance of $1188$ km

$\Rightarrow$ Diesel required to cover $1188$ km = $108$ litres
$\Rightarrow$ Diesel required to cover 1 km = $\frac{108}{1188}$ litres
$\Rightarrow$ Diesel required to cover $3300$ km = $\frac{108}{1188}$$\times 3300$
= $\frac{108}{(11\times 108)}\times 3300$
= $300$

$\therefore$ Diesel required to cover $3300$ km is $300$ litres.

Hence, a truck requires $300$ litres of diesel to cover a distance of $3300$ km.
