If my car uses 9 litres per 100 kilometres. How many tanks would I need to drive 1500 kilometres

To determine how many full tanks of fuel you'd need to drive 1500 kilometers, we can follow these steps:

1. **Calculate the total amount of fuel required**:
   - Your car consumes 9 litres per 100 kilometers.
   - To drive 1500 kilometers, the fuel consumption would be:
     \[
     \frac{9 \, \text{litres}}{100 \, \text{km}} \times 1500 \, \text{km} = 135 \, \text{litres}
     \]

2. **Determine how many tanks you would need**:
   - Now, you need to know the capacity of your car's fuel tank (which is missing in the problem). Assuming your tank holds **50 litres**, you'd calculate:
     \[
     \frac{135 \, \text{litres}}{50 \, \text{litres per tank}} = 2.7 \, \text{tanks}
     \]
   - This means you'd need to fill your tank **3 times** (since you can't fill 0.7 of a tank).

So, you'd need 3 tanks if your tank holds 50 litres. If your tank has a different capacity, adjust the calculation accordingly.
