Answer 1

Miles= 120

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

A car can travel 480 miles on a full tank of petrol. The tank holds 60 liters.

First, we need to calculate the miles per liter:

Miles per litre= 480 / 60

Miles per litre= 8 miles

Now, the miles that can be driven with 15 liters:

Miles= 15*8

Miles= 120
