To find the distance that can be covered with 2 liters of gasoline, we need to set up a proportion using the given information:
1/2 liter of gasoline covers 7.5 km
2 liters of gasoline covers x km
We can set up the proportion as:
(1/2) / 7.5 = 2 / x
Cross multiplying, we get:
(1/2) * x = 7.5 * 2
Simplifying, we get:
x/2 = 15
Multiplying both sides by 2 to isolate x, we get:
x = 30
Therefore, the distance that can be covered with 2 liters of gasoline is 30 km.
