Hiro's family lives 896 kilometers from the beach. each of the five adults drove the family van an equal distance to get to beach. how far did each adult drive?

Each adult drove 179.2 kilometers

Solution:

Given that, Hiro's family lives 896 kilometers from the beach

Each of the five adults drove the family van an equal distance to get to beach

Distance between house and beach = 896 kilometers

Therefore,

Each of five adults drive equal distance to cover the total distance of 896 kilometers

To find: Distance drove by each adult

Since there are 5 adults,

Therefore, each adult drove 179.2 kilometers

distance covered by pamela in 9 l of fuel = 99km

let us apply unitary method here.

distance covered by pamela in 1 l of fuel =99/9 =11 km

now let us find distance covered by pamela if she has 12 l of fuel.

distance covered in 12 l = distance covered in 1 l of fuel * 12

we know that distance covered by here in 1 l is 11 km.

so distance covered in 12 l of fuel = 11*12 = 132 km.
