Mark (✓) against the correct answer
A car runs 16 km using 1 litre of petrol. How much distance will it cover in $2\frac{3}{4}$ litres of petrol?
(a) 24 km
(b) 36 km
(c) 44 km
(d) $32\frac{3}{4}$ km

Answer 1

(c) 44 km
Distance covered by the car on $2\frac{3}{4}$ L of petrol =$\left(16\times 2\frac{3}{4}\right)$ km

= $\left(16\times \frac{11}{4}\right)$ km

= (4 $\times$ 11) km = 44 km
