Question 1

A car uses 8 liters of fuel per 100 km. If the fuel tank holds 56 liters, how far can the car travel on a full tank?

Accepted Answer

700 km

Answer

Distance = (56 ÷ 8) × 100 = 7 × 100 = 700 km.

Question 2

Three partners invest $5,000, $8,000, and $12,000 in a business. If the profit is $50,000, how much does the partner who invested $8,000 receive if profits are split proportionally?

Accepted Answer

$16,000

Answer

Total investment = $25,000. The $8,000 partner's share = 8,000/25,000 = 0.32. Profit share = 0.32 × $50,000 = $16,000.
