The distance between two cities is 1800 miles. How many litres of petrol will a motorist use with an automobile that used (on) average 1 litre of petrol for each 12 miles?

Answer: 150
Explanation

To find the amount of petrol used, divide the total distance by the distance covered per liter:

Distance = 1800 miles

Distance covered per liter = 12 miles

Petrol used = Distance ÷ Distance covered per liter

= 1800 miles ÷ 12 miles/liter

= 150 liters

So, the motorist will use 150 liters of petrol.
