1.	A generator consumes 2\ \frac{2}{3} litres of diesel every hour. How much diesel will the generator consume in 7 \frac{1}{5} hours?
Answer» ⇒ Given :- A generator consumes ${\sf 2\:{\dfrac{2}{3}$ litres of DIESEL every HOUR. ⇒ To Find :- How MUCH diesel will the generator CONSUME in ${\sf 7\:{\dfrac{1}{5}$ hours? ⇒ Solution :- Diesel consumes every hour = ${\sf 2\:{\dfrac{2}{3}\:L$ = ${\sf{\dfrac{2\:x\:3+2}{3}\:L$ = ${\sf{\dfrac{8}{3}}\:L$ ∴ Diesel consumed in ${\sf 7\:{\dfrac{1}{5}$ hours = ${\sf{\dfrac{7\:x\:5+1}{5}$ = ${\sf{\dfrac{36}{5}}$ = ${\sf{\dfrac{36}{5}}\:x\:{\sf{\dfrac{8}{3}}\:L$ = ${\sf{\dfrac{36\:x\:8}{5\:x\:3}\:L$ = ${\sf{\dfrac{288}{15}\:L$ = 19.2 L Ans. 19.2 L diesel will be consumed in ${\sf 7\:{\dfrac{1}{5}$ hours. $\huge{\boxed{\sf{\ Hence\:\:Proved}}}$
