Question

The Blakely family has driven 50 miles of a 200-mile trip. Their car travels 30 miles per gallon of gas. How many gallons of gasoline, g, will the car use on the remainder of the trip?

Answer 1

Answer:

Gasoline required for the remaining trip, g = 5 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

The Blakely family has driven 50 miles of a 200-mile trip.

Total distance = 200 miles

Distance completed = 50 miles

Distance remaining = 200 - 50 = 150 miles

Their car travels 30 miles per gallon of gas

Mileage = 30  miles per gallon of gas

$\texttt{Gas required, g =}\frac{150}{30}=5gallons$

Gasoline required for the remaining trip, g = 5 gallons
