Question

A car can run 16 km using 1 litre of pertol. How much distance will it cover using 2 3/4liters of petrol​

Answer 1

Answer:  44 km

===============================================

Work shown:

3/4 = 0.75

2 3/4 = 2 & 3/4 = 2 + 3/4 = 2 + 0.75 = 2.75

We can form a proportion and solve for x like so

(16 km)/(1 liter) = (x km)/(2.75 liters)

16/1 = x/2.75

16*2.75 = 1*x .... cross multiplication

44 = x

x = 44

The car will cover a distance of 44 km

Answer 2

36 liters 16x2=32 and 3/4 just divide 16 and 3=4 add 32 and 4= 36
