Calculate total distance: Calculate the total distance Roselyn will drive.Roselyn is driving to visit her family, who live 150 kilometers away.
Calculate fuel needed: Calculate the total amount of fuel needed for the drive.Roselyn's car has a fuel efficiency of 6 kilometers per liter. To find out how many liters she will need for a 150-kilometer drive, we divide the total distance by the fuel efficiency.Fuel needed =Fuel efficiencyTotal distanceFuel needed =6km/l150kmFuel needed =25 liters
Calculate cost of fuel: Calculate the cost of the fuel used for the drive.The cost of fuel is 0.60 dollars per liter. To find the total cost, we multiply the amount of fuel needed by the cost per liter.Total cost =Fuel needed×Cost per literTotal cost =25 liters×0.60 dollars/literTotal cost =15 dollars
