Question

Edward's school is 13/2 miles away from his home . He goes by car to school and back. The car consumed 4 gallons of gas taking him to and from school over 5 days. What distance did he travel per gallon of fuel?

Answer 1

Answer:

16.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, the school is 13/2 miles away.

13/2 = 6.5

Since Edward goes by car there and back, he travels 13 miles a day.

6.5 x 2 = 13

He went for 5 days.

5 x 13 = 65

The car consumed 4 gallons of gas by driving those 65 miles.

65 / 4 = 16.25

Therefore, Edward's car gets 16.25 miles per gallon!
