Your car petrol usage is 9 litres/100km your tank holds 68liters how many tanks of fuel will you use to drive 1500km

To determine how many tanks of fuel will be required to drive 1500 km, let's go step by step:

1. **Fuel consumption rate**: Your car uses 9 liters per 100 km.
   
2. **Total distance**: You are driving 1500 km.

3. **Calculate the total fuel needed**:
   \[
   \text{Fuel needed} = \left( \frac{9 \text{ liters}}{100 \text{ km}} \right) \times 1500 \text{ km} = \frac{9 \times 1500}{100} = 135 \text{ liters}
   \]

4. **Tank capacity**: Your fuel tank holds 68 liters.

5. **Calculate the number of tanks required**:
   \[
   \text{Number of tanks} = \frac{135 \text{ liters}}{68 \text{ liters/tank}} \approx 1.985 \text{ tanks}
   \]

Since you can't fill a fraction of a tank, you'll need **2 full tanks of fuel** to cover 1500 km.
