Problem

A car requires 92 litres of gasoline to travel for 1034 kilometers. At the same rate of gasoline consumption, how far can the car travel if the gas tank holds 47 litres? The car can travel $\square$ kilometers. (Round to the nearest kilometer as needed.)

Solution

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: \( \frac{1034 \text{ km}}{92 \text{ litres}} = \frac{x \text{ km}}{47 \text{ litres}} \). 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 \( \frac{1034}{92} = \frac{x}{47} \)

Step 4 :Solving for x, we get \( x = \frac{1034}{92} * 47 \)

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 \(\boxed{528}\) kilometers with 47 litres of gasoline.
