Question

If a car uses 1 liter of gas in traveling 7.5 km, how many cl of gas will it use in going 600 meters?

Answer 1

        1 liter = 100 cl              then

                                                  100 cl          7500 meters

                                                    x                 600

x=600X100/7500=6000/75=8 cl

Answer 2

since we are dealing with different units, it will be best if we convert one unit and make use of uniform units.



1 km = 1000 m

7.5 km = 7500 m =====> 7.5 km x (1000m/1 km)

1L = 100 cl (centi- means hundred)

You can use the proportion below:

Let x be the gas consumed (in cl) in going 600 meters.

100 cl/7500m = x/600 m

cross multiply:

7500m x = 60 000 m cl

divide both sides by 7500m:

x = 8 cl

Answer 3

1liter = 7500m

1/7500 L= 1m

600/7500L = 600m

= 0.08L

= 80ml

80ml = 8cl

8cl
