Rich · Answer 2

David drives 210 miles a week for work. That means the car is used 210miles/week

He fills his petrol tank twice a week. Each fill up is for 42 litres

That means he fill the tank 2x42litre = 84 litres/week.

The mileage should be : (210miles/week) / (84 litres/week) = 2,5miles/litre

Answer: 2,5miles/litre
