Question

Eli drove 856 miles on 29.4 gallons of gas what was his gas mileage rounded to the nearest mpg?

Answer 1

Hi there!

"MPG" is an abbreviation for "mile per gallon".

In order to answer your question you'll need to use the cross product method:

856 miles → 29.4 gallons

x miles      → 1 gallon

(856 × 1) ÷ 29.4 = x miles

856 ÷ 29.4 = 29.1156463

Since you need to round your answer to the nearest, your answer will be: Eli drove 29 miles per gallon.

There you go! I really hope this helped, if there's anything just let me know! :)

Answer 2

Answer: 29 miles per gallon.

Reasoning: 856 miles/29.4 gallons = 29.1156462585 (rounded to the nearest mile = 29)

Hope this helped!
