Question

erik drove 439.92 miles on 15.6 gallons of gas. To the nearest hundredth, how many miles could he drive on 39.7 gallons of gas?

Answer 1

In the question it is already given that Eric drove for 439.92 miles on 15.6 gallons. It is required to find the distance traveled on 39.7 gallons of gas. Also we have to find the answer to the nearest hundredth.
Then,
In 15.6 gallons Eric can drive for a distance = 439.92 miles
In 39.7 gallons Eric can drive for a distance = [(439.92/15.6) * 39.7] miles
                                                                       = 1119.54 miles
So the total distance traveled by Eric is 1120 miles with 39.7 gallons of gas. The answer has been calculated to the nearest hundredth.
