How long can Roselyn drive before she runs out of fuel?

Answer 1

Answer:

She can go 120 km before she runs out of fuel

It will take 2 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

150 km is the distance

60 km/ h is the speed

The gas tank is 20 liters

We can go 6 km per liter

Fuel costs .60 dollars per liter

We need to determine how far she can go on a tank of gas

20 liters * 6 km / liter = 120 km

She can go 120 km before she runs out of fuel

120 km  = 60 km/ h  *  x hours

Divide each side by 60

120/60 = x

2 hours
