Homework Equations
1) An example of an easy question to do mentally would be:
Speed of 24 mph, how far would you travel in 1 hour 15 minutes?
2) You travel 111 miles. How much fuel will you need if you burn 36 kgs per hour, and are traveling at 148 mph?
-Need help finding the quickest way to solve.
The Attempt at a Solution
0.25 of 24 is 6. Therefore, 24+6 = 30 miles
I'm wondering if anyone knows the quickest most efficient way to solving questions such as:
What speed covers 18 miles in 54 minutes
And if there's a simple way to do it mentally?
I appreciate your replies!
This site has some sample tests including the fuel consumption questions too.
