Question

The fuel tank holds 52 litres of fuel when the tank is full. The tank is 4/5 full of fuel. Work out how many more litres of fuel are needed to fill the tank. A) 10.4 liters B) 57.6 liters C) 62.4 liters D) 41.6 liters

Answer 1

A) 10.4 liters

====================

First, calculate how much fuel is already in the tank.

If the tank is 4/5 full, then it contains:

• 4/5 * 52 litres = 41.6 litres of fuel

To find how many more liters are needed to fill the tank, we subtract the amount of fuel already in the tank from the tank's maximum capacity:

• 52 litres - 41.6 litres = 10.4 litres

Therefore, the answer is 10.4 liters (Option A).
