Q. Roselyn is driving to visit her family, who live 150 kilometers away. Her average speed is 60 kilometers per hour. The car's tank has 20 liters of fuel at the beginning of the drive, and its fuel efficiency is 6 kilometers per liter. Fuel costs 0.60 dollars per liter.How long can Roselyn drive before she runs out of fuel?hours
Calculate total distance: Calculate the total distance Roselyn can drive with the fuel she has.Fuel efficiency is given as 6 kilometers per liter, and she has 20 liters of fuel.Total distance = Fuel efficiency × Amount of fuelTotal distance =6km/liter×20liters
Perform calculation: Perform the calculation from Step 1.Total distance = 6literkm×20liters=120kilometersRoselyn can drive 120 kilometers before she runs out of fuel.
Calculate time: Calculate the time it will take for Roselyn to drive the total distance before running out of fuel.We know her average speed is 60 kilometers per hour.Time = Total distance / Average speedTime =120 kilometers /60 kilometers per hour
Perform calculation: Perform the calculation from Step 3.Time = 60 kilometers per hour120 kilometers=2 hoursRoselyn can drive for 2 hours before she runs out of fuel.
