Q. Keone is driving cross-country. The engine burns 7.5L of fuel every 100km. So far, they burned 37.5L of fuel.The following equation describes this situation.−37.5÷−7.5=5What does 5 tell us?Choose 1 answer:(A) Keone has driven for 5 hundred kilometers.(B) Keone has driven for 5 hours.(C) Keone can drive 5km per liter of fuel.
Given fuel consumption rate: Keone's fuel consumption is 7.5L per 100km, and they've used 37.5L so far.
Calculate distance driven: To find out how far Keone has driven, we divide the total fuel used by the fuel consumption rate. 37.5÷7.5=5
Divide total fuel used: The result, 5, represents the number of 100km units Keone has driven because the rate is per 100km.
Calculate total distance driven: So, Keone has driven 5×100km, which is 500km.
