A car is filled with 4.5 gallons of fuel for a round trip .
Car is taken 1/4 more than in going than coming up. What is
the fuel consumed in coming up ?
Fuel to go = x + (x/4)=5x/4
Fuel to come = x
now,
x+(5x/4) = 4.5
9x/4 = 4.5
9x = 18
x = 2 (Fuel to comeup)
Fuel to go will be:
2+(2/4) = 2 + (0.5) = 2.5
Fuel to go = x + (x/4)=5x/4
Fuel to come = x
now,
x+(5x/4) = 4.5
9x/4 = 4.5
9x = 18
x = 2 (Fuel to comeup)
Fuel to go will be:
2+(2/4) = 2 + (0.5) = 2.5
