Question
Answer:
(a)We are given Amelia used 6 liters of gasoline to drive 48 kilometersso, we have 6 litres = 48 kilometerswe can divide both sides by 6 [tex]\frac{6}{6} L=\frac{48}{6}km[/tex][tex]1 L=8km[/tex]so, we get [tex]rate =8km/L[/tex](b)now, we have to find number of litres after 11 km 6 litres = 48 kilometerswe can also write it as48 kilometers=6 litreswe can divide both sides by 48[tex]\frac{48}{48}km=\frac{6}{48} L[/tex][tex]1km=\frac{6}{48} L[/tex]we can multiply both sides by 11[tex]11*1km=11*\frac{6}{48} L[/tex][tex]11km=\frac{11}{8} L[/tex]..................Answer
