Answer 1

To find the distance that can be covered with 2 liters of gasoline, we need to set up a proportion using the given information:

1/2 liter of gasoline covers 7.5 km

2 liters of gasoline covers x km

We can set up the proportion as:

(1/2) / 7.5 = 2 / x

Cross multiplying, we get:

(1/2) * x = 7.5 * 2

Simplifying, we get:

x/2 = 15

Multiplying both sides by 2 to isolate x, we get:

x = 30

Therefore, the distance that can be covered with 2 liters of gasoline is 30 km.
