A car can cover a distance of 540 km on 18 liters of petrol. How far can it travel on 16 liters of petrol?
A car can travel 3936 km on 72 litres of petrol. Find the volume of petrol that will be used if the car travels a distance of 4264 km?
540 / 18 = 30 km per liter
30 * 16 = ? km
480
To find out how far the car can travel on 16 liters of petrol, we can use the concept of proportions.
We know that the car can cover a distance of 540 km on 18 liters of petrol. Let's set up the proportion:
Distance covered / Amount of petrol = Distance covered / Amount of petrol
For the given situation, we can set it up as:
540 km / 18 liters = x km / 16 liters
Now, we can solve for x:
(540 km * 16 liters) / 18 liters = x km
To calculate this, we multiply 540 km by 16 liters and then divide by 18 liters.
Therefore, on 16 liters of petrol, the car can travel approximately 480 km.
