Answer

So, the car can travel 528 kilometers with 47 litres of gasoline.

Steps

Step 1 :We are given that a car requires 92 litres of gasoline to travel for 1034 kilometers. We need to find out how far the car can travel if the gas tank holds 47 litres.

Step 2 :We can set up the proportion as follows: 1034 km92 litres=x km47 litres. Solving for x will give us the distance the car can travel with 47 litres of gasoline.

Step 3 :Substituting the given values into the equation, we get 103492=x47

Step 4 :Solving for x, we get x=10349247

Step 5 :Calculating the above expression, we get x=528

Step 6 :Rounding to the nearest kilometer, we get x=528

Step 7 :So, the car can travel 528 kilometers with 47 litres of gasoline.
