Question

On the first part of a journey, Alan drove a distance of x km and his car used 6 litres of fuel.

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{600}{x+20}\text{ litres per 100 km}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The number of litres consumed by car in (x+20) km = 6,

So, number of litres consumed by car in 1 km = $\frac{6}{x+20}$,

Now, number of litres consumed by car in 100 km = 100 × litres consumed by car in 1 km

$=100\times \frac{6}{x+20}$

$=\frac{600}{x+20}$

Hence, the rate of fuel used by his car would be $\frac{600}{x+20}$ litres per 100 km.
