Question

A vehicle covers a distance of 43.2 km in 2.4 litres of petrol. How much distance will it cover in one litre of petrol?

Answer 1

Distance covered in 2.4 litres of petrol = 43.2 km
∴ Distance covered in 1 litre of petrol = 43.2 ÷ 2.4 = $\frac{432}{10}$ ÷ $\frac{24}{10}$ = $\frac{432}{10}$× $\frac{10}{24}$ = 18
Therefore, the vehicle will cover 18 km in 1 litre petrol.
