A car requires 22 litres of petrol to travel a distance of 259.6 km. Find

1) the distance that the car can travel on 63 litres of petrol,

2) the amount that the car owner has to pay to travel a distance of 2013.2 km if a litre of petrol costs $1.99.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. A car requires 22 litres of petrol to travel a distance of 259.6 km

what is the distance that the car can travel on 63 ltr of petrol

22ltr = 259.6km

63ltr=

cross multiply

{63 x 259.6}/22 = 16354.8/22 = 743.4 km

A car requires 22 litres of petrol to travel a distance of 259.6 km, it would require 63 ltr of petrol to travel 743.4km

2. To travel a distance of 2013.2 km

we would need to calculate the amount of fuel

A car requires 22 litres of petrol to travel a distance of 259.6 km

what amount of fuel would it require to travel 2013.2km

22ltr = 259.6km

xltr = 2013.2km

x is the value of petrol to cover 2013.2km

cross multiply

(2013.2 x 22) / 259.6

44290.4/259.6 = 170.610169492≈170.6 ltr

A car requires 22 litres of petrol to travel a distance of 259.6 km, it would require 170.6 ltr of petrol to travel 2013.2km

if 1ltr is $1.99

170.6 ltr is (170.6 x 1.99) / 1 = $339.494≈$339.5

The price of fuel consumed for 2013.2 km at 1 liter of petrol at $1.99 is $339.5
