Q. Roselyn is driving to visit her family, who live 150150 kilometers away. Her average speed is 6060 kilometers per hour. The car's tank has 2020 liters of fuel at the beginning of the drive, and its fuel efficiency is 66 kilometers per liter. Fuel costs 0.600.60 dollars per liter.\newlineHow long can Roselyn drive before she runs out of fuel?\newlinehours
  1. Calculate total distance: Calculate the total distance Roselyn can drive with the fuel she has.\newlineFuel efficiency is given as 66 kilometers per liter, and she has 2020 liters of fuel.\newlineTotal distance == Fuel efficiency ×\times Amount of fuel\newlineTotal distance == 6km/liter×20liters6 \, \text{km/liter} \times 20 \, \text{liters}
  2. Perform calculation: Perform the calculation from Step 11.\newlineTotal distance = 6kmliter×20liters=120kilometers6 \frac{\text{km}}{\text{liter}} \times 20 \text{liters} = 120 \text{kilometers}\newlineRoselyn can drive 120120 kilometers before she runs out of fuel.
  3. Calculate time: Calculate the time it will take for Roselyn to drive the total distance before running out of fuel.\newlineWe know her average speed is 6060 kilometers per hour.\newlineTime == Total distance // Average speed\newlineTime == 120120 kilometers // 6060 kilometers per hour
  4. Perform calculation: Perform the calculation from Step 33.\newlineTime = 120 kilometers60 kilometers per hour=2 hours\frac{120 \text{ kilometers}}{60 \text{ kilometers per hour}} = 2 \text{ hours}\newlineRoselyn can drive for 22 hours before she runs out of fuel.
