A car averages 24km per 3L of fuel. At this rate how many litres will be used on a 56km trip?

To solve this, we can use a proportion based on the given rate of fuel consumption.

The car averages 24 km per 3 liters, so:

\[
\frac{24 \, \text{km}}{3 \, \text{L}} = \frac{56 \, \text{km}}{x \, \text{L}}
\]

Where \( x \) is the number of liters needed for the 56 km trip.

Now, solve for \( x \):

\[
x = \frac{56 \times 3}{24} = 7 \, \text{L}
\]

So, the car will use 7 liters of fuel for a 56 km trip.
