A car travels 150km on 12 L of gasonline. How many liters are there of gasoline needed to travel 500km

Respuesta :

150 = 12
150 +150 = 300 which = 24
150 + 150 + 150 = 450 which =36



the remaining 50 is 12 ÷ 3, so 4. 36 + 4 = 40.

therefore, 40 L of gasoline are needed to go 500km

You can use the given distance to amount of gasoline used relationship to find how much gasoline is needed for 1 km of traveling. Then use that data to find the amount of gasoline needed to travel 500 km.

The amount of gasoline needed to travel 500 km is 40 L

How to find the gasoline used for 1 km of distance traveled?

We can equate the 150 km figure to 12 L use of gasoline on the basis of usage.

Thus,

[tex]\rm 150 \: km = 12 \: L\\\\\\\text{Dividing both quantities in 150 parts}\\\\\\dfrac{150}{150} \: km = \dfrac{12}{150} \: L\\\\1 \: km = 0.08 \: L[/tex]

Thus, there will be use of 0.08 L gasoline for travelling 1 km by that same car.

Using that above derived relationship, we can find the amount of gasoline needed to travel 500 km by that same car.

[tex]1 \rm \: km = 0.08 \: L\\\\\text{Multiplying 500 on both the sides}\\\\500 \: km = 40 \: L[/tex]


Thus,

The amount of gasoline needed to travel 500 km is 40 L
