The number of hours machine runs with 8.5 L fuel is 3.4 hours.
Given that, a machine uses 2.5 liters of fuel each hour it runs, its fuel tank was filled with 10 L but 1.5 L have already been used.
What is the unitary method?
The unitary method is a technique for solving a problem by first finding the value of a single unit, and then finding the necessary value by multiplying the single unit value.
Now, 10 - 1.5 = 8.5 L
So, the number of hours = 8.5/2.5
= 3.4 hours
Therefore, the number of hours machine runs with 8.5 L fuel is 3.4 hours.

The machine will run for an additional 3.4 hours with the remaining 8.5 liters of fuel. This was calculated by subtracting the used fuel from the total and dividing by the consumption rate. Hence, the answer is based on the remaining fuel divided by the fuel consumption per hour.
