Answer:

The answers are:

  1. 15.523 liters of petrol will be used.
  2. The cost of petrol will be: 2156.2 pence
  3. The journey will take 3 hours and 16 minutes approximately

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Distance of Hotel and car = 163 miles

Distance travelled by car per liter = 10.5 miles

The number of liters will be obtained by dividing the total distance by distance travelled in one liter.

So,

[tex]number\ of\ liters = \frac{163}{10.5} = 15.523\ liters[/tex]

2. Cost for petrol:

Cost of petrol per liter = 138.9 pence per liter

Then the total cost of petrol will be:

[tex]Total\ cost = 138.9*15.523 = 2156.1447 => 2156.2\ pences[/tex]

3. Time taken for journey

Distance travelled in an hour = speed = 50 miles per hour.

The speed is given by the formula:

[tex]speed = \frac{distance}{time}[/tex]

Putting the values

[tex]50 = \frac{163}{t}\\t = \frac{163}{50}\\t = 3.26\ hours[/tex]

It will take: 3 hours and 0.26*60 = 15.6 minutes => 3 hours 16 minutes

Hence,

The answers are:

  1. 15.523 liters of petrol will be used.
  2. The cost of petrol will be: 2156.2 pence
  3. The journey will take 3 hours and 16 minutes approximately
