Question
A family is going on a road trip for their summer vacation. They plan their trip, including travel distances, fuel costs, and food expenses. They plan to travel a total distance of 450.5 km. On the first day, they travel 175.25 km, and on the second day, they travel 198.75 km. How many kilometers are left for them to travel?The car consumes fuel at a rate of 0.08 liters per kilometer. How much fuel will they need for the remaining distance?
Solution
To find out how many kilometers are left for them to travel, we need to subtract the distance they have already traveled from the total distance.
The total distance they plan to travel is 450.5 km. On the first day, they travel 175.25 km, and on the second day, they travel 198.75 km.
So, the total distance they have traveled so far is 175.25 km + 198.75 km = 374 km.
Subtracting this from the total distance gives us the remaining distance they need to travel:
450.5 km - 374 km = 76.5 km.
Next, to find out how much fuel they will need for the remaining distance, we need to multiply the remaining distance by the car's fuel consumption rate.
The car consumes fuel at a rate of 0.08 liters per kilometer, so for the remaining 76.5 km, they will need:
76.5 km * 0.08 liters/km = 6.12 liters of fuel.
