Let's break down the steps to find out how much distance a car will cover with 4.6 liters of petrol, knowing that it covers 28.7 kilometers per liter.
1. Identify the distance covered per liter:
- The car covers 28.7 kilometers with one liter of petrol.
2. Determine the total amount of petrol:
- The car has 4.6 liters of petrol available.
3. Calculate the total distance:
- To find the total distance the car will cover with 4.6 liters of petrol, we need to multiply the distance covered per liter by the number of liters available.
So, we perform the multiplication:
[tex]\[ \text{Total Distance} = \text{Distance per liter} \times \text{Number of liters} \][/tex]
Substitute the given values:
[tex]\[ \text{Total Distance} = 28.7 \, \text{km/liter} \times 4.6 \, \text{liters} \][/tex]
After performing the multiplication, we get:
[tex]\[ \text{Total Distance} = 132.02 \, \text{kilometers} \][/tex]
Therefore, the car will cover approximately 132.02 kilometers with 4.6 liters of petrol.
