Question

A truck requires 108 litres of diesel for covering a distance of 594 km. How much diesel will be required by the truck to cover a distance of 1650 km?

Answer 1

Answer:

300 litres.

Step-by-step explanation:

The required litres of diesel can be determined as follows:

For a distance of 594 km, 108 litres of diesel was used.

Let the number of required litres of diesel be represented by x, so that:

x = $\frac{1650}{594}$ x 108

  = 2.77777778 x 108

  = 300

x = 300 litres

Therefore, to cover a distance of 1650 km, the required number of litres is 300.
