if 9 litres of feul gets you 100km and your car can take 68 litres. how much tank of feul would it take to travel 1500km

To find out how many liters of fuel would be required to travel 1500 km, we can set up a proportion based on the information that 9 liters gets you 100 km.

Here’s the step-by-step solution:

1. First, calculate the fuel consumption per kilometer:
   \[
   \frac{9 \text{ liters}}{100 \text{ km}} = 0.09 \text{ liters per km}
   \]

2. Now, find out how much fuel is needed to travel 1500 km:
   \[
   0.09 \text{ liters/km} \times 1500 \text{ km} = 135 \text{ liters}
   \]

So, to travel 1500 km, you would need **135 liters** of fuel.

Since the car’s fuel tank can hold 68 liters, calculate how many full tanks of fuel you would need:

\[
\frac{135 \text{ liters}}{68 \text{ liters/tank}} = 1.985 \text{ tanks}
\]

Therefore, you would need approximately **2 full tanks of fuel** to travel 1500 km.
