Question

The distance traveled by the car is $\frac{1}{10}$ times the number written on its number plate and fuel consumed by it is 10 times the number written on the number plate.

What is the distance traveled and how much fuel is consumed by it ?

• A. Distance traveled: 300 km
  Fuel consumed: 3,400 L
• B. Distance traveled: 345 km
  Fuel consumed: 34,500 L
• C. Distance traveled: 30 km
  Fuel consumed: 35,000 L
• D. Distance traveled: 450 km
  Fuel Consumed: 34,550 L

Answer 1

The correct option is B Distance traveled: 345 km

Fuel consumed: 34,500 L
The number written on the number plate of the car is 3450.

The distance traveled by the car is $\frac{1}{10}$ times the number written on its number plate.

To find $\frac{1}{10}$ of 3450, we will look at the hundreds place.

So, distance traveled will be:
3450 $\times$ $\frac{1}{10}$ = 345 km

Also, fuel consumed by the car is 10 times the number written on the number plate.

To find 10 times of 3450, we will look at the ten thousands place.

So, amount of fuel consumed will be:
3450 $\times$ 10 = 34,500 L

Thus, the distance covered by car is 345 km and the fuel consumed by car is 34,500 L.
