Question

if your car gets 28 miles per gallon, how much does it cost to drive 310 miles when gasoline cost $3.50 per gallon?

Answer 1

Hi,


Work:

$28miles = 1gallon$

To find the cost of gallons spend for 310 miles you need to first find the amount of gallons consumed on 310 miles path.

$310 \div 28 = 11.07gallons$

If each costs 3.5$ you need to multiply gallons with money.

$3.5 \times 11.07 = 38.745$

You would spend 38.745$ to drive 310 miles.

Hope this helps.
