Lily is very happy with the fuel efficiency of her new car. She estimates that she can drive 14 km per litre of gas. What is the word equation?

5 answers

FE = 14 km/L

btw, using metric units, the fuel efficiencly is expressed as
litres/100 km

e.g. my car uses 8.4 L/100 km
Distance = (litres purchased) x 14
Every litter =14km
Yes, that's correct! Another way to write it is:

For every one litre of gas, Lily can drive 14 km.
By algebraic
1l=14km
