Question

A vehicle covers a distance of 43.2 km in 2.4 litres of petrol. How much distance will it travel in 1 litre of petrol?

Answer 1

Distance travelled by the vehicle in 2.4 litres of petrol = 43.2 km

$\therefore$ Distance travelled in 1 litre of petrol will be:

$$\begin{gathered} \frac{43.2}{2.4} \\ =\frac{432}{24} \\ =18 \end{gathered}$$

Thus, the vehicle will travel 18 km in 1 litre of petrol.
