Direct Variation type of problem.
No other information to think otherwise.
This is in the form
Using R for the consumption rate
r as the speed of the car
k proportionality constant.
5*(liters/hour)*(1/50)(hours/kilometer), is probably not the kind of situation involved here. Why, is that the consumption rate DEPENDS on the speed. I have assumed that consumption rate will increase with speed and is directly proportional to it.
The relationship you want then is .
The time values given in your question need to be adjusted for "per hour".
