A steamer can cover k kilometers by consuming l litres of diesel. Write the formula for the distance d, in km covered by the steamer which uses m litres of diesel.

Explanation

Distance covered =k km
diesel consumed=l 1
We know that the distance covered is directly proportional to the amount of diesel consumed.
`therefore(d)/(k)=(m)/(l)`
`impliesd=(km)/(l)` kilometers
`therefore` Distance covered, `d=(km)/(l)` kilometers.
