Answer 1

Dear student,
Here is the solution of your asked query:
$$\begin{gathered} \mathrm{Distance}\mathrm{covered}\mathrm{by}\mathrm{a}\mathrm{car}\mathrm{in}4.5\mathrm{litres}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{petrol}=67.5\mathrm{km} \\ \Rightarrow \mathrm{Distance}\mathrm{covered}\mathrm{by}\mathrm{a}\mathrm{car}\mathrm{in}1\mathrm{litre}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{petrol}=\frac{67.5}{4.5}=15\mathrm{km} \\ \mathrm{So}\mathrm{distance}\mathrm{covered}\mathrm{in}26.4\mathrm{litres}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{petrol}=15\times 26.4=396\mathrm{km} \\ \mathrm{Therefore}\mathrm{it}\mathrm{will}\mathrm{travel}396\mathrm{km}\mathrm{in}26.4\mathrm{litres}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{petrol}. \end{gathered}$$
