6. 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
Total distance covered by vehicle in 2.4 litres of petrol = 43.2 km
Distance covered in 1 litre of petrol = 43.2 ÷ 2.4
= (432/10) ÷ (24/10)
= (432/10) × (10/24)
= (432 × 10)/ (10 × 24)
= (36 × 1)/ (1 × 2)
= (18 × 1)/ (1 × 1)
= 18 km
∴ Total distance covered in 1 liter of petrol is 18 km.
