Amelia used 6 liters of gasoline to drive 48 kilometers.

How many kilometers did Amelia drive per liter?

kilometers

At that rate, how many liters does it take to drive 1 kilometer?

liters

Amelia drive 8 kilometers per liter.

It required 0.125 liters to drive 1 kilometer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provide information.

Amelia used 6 liters of gasoline to drive 48 kilometers.

This can be written as:

6 liters = 48 kilometers

Divide both the sides by 6.

6/6 liters = 48/6 kilometers

1 liters = 8 kilometers

Amelia drive 8 kilometers per liter.

Now calculate how many liters does it take to drive 1 kilometer?

6 liters = 48 kilometers

Divide both the sides by 48.

6/48 liters = 48/48 kilometers

0.125 liters = 1 kilometers

Hence, it required 0.125 liters to drive 1 kilometer.

For every liter she used, she drove 8 kilometers. In this problem you are finding the unit rate. In order to do this you divide 48 (kilometers) by 6 (liters of gasoline).

48 Divided by 6 equals to 6 Kilometers

- - - -

6 Divided by 6 equals to 1 Liter

For the second question you divide the liter by 6. Amelia used 0.1666 liters of gasoline per kilometer. 0.1666 is equivalent to 1/6.
