Question

10. EQAO Sam works in Peterborough. Each

week, he travels 125 km for work and
uses approximately 13 L of gasoline.
What is his car's rate of fuel
consumption in litres per 100 km?
A 10.4 L/100 km
B 9.6 L/km
C 0.104 L/100 km
D 0.096 L/km​

Answer 1

I think the answer might be B, which could be a trick, because it's asking what the rate is.

If the question was asking for the total amount of gasoline used over the course of 100km, then I think it would be A.

Explanation:

Distance ÷ Rate = Amount

125km ÷ 9.6L/km = 13L/km

100km ÷ 9.6L/km = 10.4L/km

Answer 2

Answer is A, 10.4L per 100km
