Question

If a truck requires $54$ liters of diesel for covering a distance of $297km$, then:

_____ liters of diesel will be required by the truck to cover a distance of $1650km$

Answer 1

Given that,

$54$ liters of diesel requires for covering a distance of $297km$

Assume, $x$ liters of diesel will be required by the truck to cover a distance of $1650km$.

It can be written in proportion as:

$54:x::297:1650$

Therefore,

$$\begin{gathered} \frac{54}{x}=\frac{297}{1650} \\ x=\frac{54\times 1650}{297} \\ x=300 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, $300$ liters of diesel will be required by the truck to cover a distance of $1650km$.
