A car uses one litre of petrol for every 14km. If one of petrol cost N63.00, how far can the car go with N900.00 worth of petrol?

A.

420km

B.

405km

C.

210km

D.

200km

Correct answer is D

1 litre = N63.00

xlitres = N900.00

x x N63 = N900 x 1 litre

x = \(\frac{900}{63} \times litre\)

x = \(\frac{100}{7}\) litres

Also, 1 litre = 14km

\(\frac{100}{7}\) = y

y x 1 litre = \(\frac{100litre}{7}\) x 14km

y = 20km

B.

(x + y)(1 + a)

C.

(x + y)(1 - a)

Correct answer is C

x + y - ax = ay

= (x + y) -a(x + y) = (x + y)(1 - a)

Simplify 0.000215 x 0.000028 and express your answer in standard form

A.

6.03 x 109

B.

6.02 x 109

C.

6.03 x 10-9

D.

6.02 x 10-9

Correct answer is D

= 215 x 28 x 10-6-6

= 6020 x 10-12

= 6.020 x 103 x 10-12

= 6.02 x 103 - 12

= 6.02 x 10-9
