Answer:
The cost of 15 liters is $31.50
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Find the price for 1 liter of petrol.
Divide the cost by the number of liters:
$14.70 / 7 = $2.10 per liter.
2. Multiply the price for 1 liter by the new number of liters, 15.
$2.10 per liter x 15 liters = $31.50
2 1/4 miles => 1 week
1 mile => 1 ÷ 9/4
( 9/4 is an improper fraction of 2 1/4 )
12 1/2 miles => ( 1 ÷ 9/4 ) × 25/2
= 50/9
= 5 5/9 weeks
( 25/2 is an improper fraction of 12 1/2 )
Therefore, it will take 5 5/9 weeks for the company to replace the stretch of road.
( you can round it off to 6 weeks if the qn specify to give to the nearest whole number )
