Question

The Morrison’s car uses one gallon of gasoline for every 28 miles. If gasoline costs $1.50 per gallon, how many miles can they drive if they spend $24 on gasoline?

Answer 1

Answer:they would drive 448 miles if they spend $24 on gasoline

Step-by-step explanation:

The Morrison’s car uses one gallon of gasoline for every 28 miles. If gasoline costs $1.50 per gallon, then the cost of driving 28 miles would be $1.5.

Therefore, the number of miles can they drive if they spend $24 on gasoline would be

(28 × 24)/1.5 = 448 miles

Answer 2

Given:

$ 1.50 / gallon

1 gallon = 28 miles;

Solution:

$ 24.00 / $ 1.50 = 16 gallons

16 gallons x 28 miles = 448 miles
