A car travles 432 km 48 liters of petrol. How far would it travel on 20 liters of petrol
the distance (d) is proportional to petrol
432 / 48 = d / 20
To calculate how far the car would travel on 20 liters of petrol, we first need to determine the car's fuel efficiency.
Fuel efficiency is typically measured in kilometers per liter (km/L). We can find this value by dividing the total distance traveled by the total amount of petrol consumed.
In this case, the car traveled 432 km and consumed 48 liters of petrol. So, the fuel efficiency can be calculated as follows:
Fuel Efficiency = Total Distance Traveled / Total Petrol Consumed
= 432 km / 48 L
= 9 km/L
Now that we know the car's fuel efficiency is 9 km/L, we can calculate the distance it would travel on 20 liters of petrol by multiplying the fuel efficiency by the given amount of petrol:
Distance = Fuel Efficiency x Petrol Quantity
= 9 km/L * 20 L
= 180 km
Therefore, the car would travel 180 km on 20 liters of petrol.
