Answer:
Part 1: 8 km per liter
Part 2: 0.125 liters per km
Step-by-step explanation:
Part 1:
6x=48
x=48/6
x=8
Part 2:
8km per liter
?liters per km
1/8 = 0.125
0.125 liters per kilometer
Answer: The distance traveled in 1 liter of petrol =8 kilometers
The amount of petrol used to travel 1 kilometer =0.125 liter
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: The distance traveled in 6 liters of petrol = 48 kilometers
Thus, the distance traveled in 1 liter of petrol =[tex]\frac{48}{6}=8\ \text{kilometers}[/tex] [ divide 6 on both sides ]
Hence, the distance traveled in 1 liter of petrol = 8 kilometers
⇒ The amount of petrol used to travel 8 kilometers = 1 liter
Then the amount of petrol used to travel 1 kilometer = [tex]\frac{1}{8}\ \text{liter}[/tex] [divide 48 on both sides]
Hence, the amount of petrol used to travel 1 kilometer = 0.125 liter
