To find the length of road that can be painted with 500 liters of paint, we need to set up a proportion.
We know that 180 liters of paint can paint 6 km of road. Let's set up the proportion:
180 liters / 6 km = 500 liters / x km
To solve for x, we can cross multiply:
180 * x = 6 * 500
180x = 3000
x = 3000 / 180
x = 16.67 km
Therefore, 500 liters of paint can paint approximately 16.67 km of road.
The machine paints white lines on roads uses 180 liters or paint 6 km of road a) what length o road can be paint with 500 liters of paint ?
