ns of gasoline.a. Find the approximate number of gallons of gasoline used on the trip.b. Find the approximate number of miles you drove on the trip.c. Calculate Assume gasoline costs $1.50 per gallon. How much didyou spend per mile on gasoline?d. Apply You have $20 to spend on gasoline for another trip. The trip is350 miles. You spend the same amount per mile on gasoline as onthe first trip. Do you have enough money for gasoline? Explain.
a.You know the approximate number of gallons is about 24 gallons because each tank holds twelve and your family used 2 of them.
b. You know you drove about 600 miles. This is because you used 24 gallons And each gallon should get you 25 miles. multiply The 2 together to get 600 miles. Or you could set a thing like 1/25=24/x and solve for x.
c. It cost 36 dollars because each gallon is 1.5 and you used 24 gallons so mul the two together to get 36
d. First find the amount of gallons used by dividing 350 by 25 to get 14. Then multiply 14 by 1.5 to get 21. 21 is greater than 20 so you don’t have enough money.
When there is no number between a grouping symbol and a + or - sign, by default you can multiply the contents in the group by 1 to get rid of the grouping symbols.
