Math Problem Statement
Solution
To solve the problem in the image, we need to calculate how many full tanks of fuel will be required for a car to drive 1500 km, given the following information:
- Fuel consumption is 9 litres per 100 km.
- The car's fuel tank holds 68 litres.
Step 1: Calculate total fuel needed for 1500 km
First, we calculate the total amount of fuel required to travel 1500 km using the car's fuel consumption rate:
Step 2: Calculate how many full tanks are needed
Now, divide the total fuel required by the capacity of the tank:
Step 3: Round to the nearest whole number
Since we need a whole number of tanks, we round 1.985 up to 2.
Thus, you will need 2 full tanks of fuel to drive 1500 km.
