A vehicle covers a distance of 43.2km in 2.4 litres of petrol. How much distance will it travel in 1 litre of petrol?
Answer
Distance covered in 2.4 litres of petrol = 43.2km
Distance covered in 1 litre of petrol $=\frac{43.2}{2.4}$
$=18\text{km}$
The distance travelled in 1 litre of petrol is 18km
According to the question, we need to subtract 3.547 from 7.2
On converting the given decimals to like decimals, we get the new decimals as 3.547 and 7.200
Let us now subtract them.
7.200 - 3.547
= 3.653
