A truck travels 327 km on 64.2 liters of diesel. How much diesel will it need to go 147.2 km?

To solve this problem, we need to find out how many kilometers the truck can travel per liter of diesel, and then use that to calculate how much diesel it would need to travel 147.2 km.

Step 1: Find out the truck's fuel efficiency in km/liter. This is done by dividing the total distance travelled by the total liters of diesel used.

327 km ÷ 64.2 liters = 5.09 km/liter

This means the truck can travel approximately 5.09 kilometers per liter of diesel.

Step 2: Calculate how much diesel is needed to travel 147.2 km. This is done by dividing the total distance needed to travel by the truck's fuel efficiency.

147.2 km ÷ 5.09 km/liter = 28.9 liters

So, the truck would need approximately 28.9 liters of diesel to travel 147.2 kilometers.
