Question

A bus driver filled the tank with 600 liters of fuel. During the trip, the bus used 145 liters and 350 milliliters of fuel. How much fuel remained in the tank?

Answer 1

To find out how much fuel remains in the tank after the trip, we first need to convert all measurements to the same unit. We can convert the 350 milliliters to liters:

1 liter = 1000 milliliters
350 milliliters = \( \frac{350}{1000} = 0.35 \) liters

Next, we calculate the total amount of fuel used during the trip:

\[
\text{Total fuel used} = 145 \text{ liters} + 0.35 \text{ liters} = 145.35 \text{ liters}
\]

Now, we can find the fuel remaining in the tank by subtracting the total fuel used from the initial amount of fuel in the tank:

\[
\text{Fuel remaining} = 600 \text{ liters} - 145.35 \text{ liters} = 454.65 \text{ liters}
\]

So, the amount of fuel remaining in the tank is \( \text{454.65 liters} \).
