a van travelled 45km on 30 litres of diesel. How far could it travel on 45 litres?

Just a simple ratio question:

45/30 = x/45
x = 45(45/30) = .... km

45km : 30liters = ?km : 45liters

(45)(45) = 2025
2025/30 = 67.5km

To find out how far the van can travel on 45 litres of diesel, we need to determine the fuel consumption rate of the van.

The fuel consumption rate can be calculated by dividing the distance traveled by the amount of fuel used. In this case, the van traveled 45 km on 30 liters of diesel.

So, the fuel consumption rate is 45 km / 30 litres = 1.5 km/litre.

Now we can use this fuel consumption rate to calculate the distance the van can travel on 45 liters of diesel.

Distance = Fuel consumption rate * Fuel quantity

Distance = 1.5 km/litre * 45 litres = 67.5 km

Therefore, the van can travel approximately 67.5 km on 45 litres of diesel.
