From the information we have, Jack drove 401/2 miles and used a total of 1 1/4 gallons of gasoline.
We need to find out how many miles he travelled per each gallon.
40 1/2 miles can be written as 40.5 miles
1 1/4 gallons can be written as 1.25 gallons.
So now we form an equation.
40.5 = 1.25
x = 1
Where x is the number of miles per gallon
We cross multiply the equation
40.5 * 1 = 1.25 * x
40.5 = 1.25x
40.5 / 1.25 = x
32.4 = x
x = 32 .4
So the unit rate for miles per gallons is 32.4 miles per gallon
Answer:
Jenny cycles the grand distance of 29 and one third of a mile.
Step-by-step explanation:
I want to answer this using fractions and without multiplying by an awkward recurring decimal.
Cycling 11 miles in 45 minutes and continuing at the same speed means she will go 22 miles in 90 minutes
To scale up 90 mins to the required 120 mins (2 hours) multiply by 4/3.
22 x (4/3) = 88/3
Jenny will travel 88/3 miles in 2 hours.
Not happy with top heavy fractions?
Let's round up 88/3 to 90/3 by adding 2/3.
90/3 = 30 and to get back to the answer we just take away the two thirds we added when rounding up.
Jenny cycles the grand distance of 29 and one third of a mile.
I think that is the correct answer.
