Answer:
1) 28.4 miles per gallon
2) 34 miles per gallon
3) the red car
Step-by-step explanation:
Blue car:
Travels 35 1/2 miles on 1 1/4 gallons of gasoline
Red car:
Travels 27 1/5 miles on 4/5 gallons of gasoline
We want to know the unit rate for miles per hour, and to do it we have to divide the miles they travel by the gallons each car uses:
Blue car:
(35 1/2) / (1 1/4) = 28.4 miles per gallon
Red car:
(27 1/5) / (4/5) = 34 miles per gallon
The red car travels greater distance with 1 gallon of gasoline {and thats about it!}
Negative 3.14
Times that by Pi which is 3.14 and then multiply by the base number and you will get the correct answer
There are 4 US quarts in a gallon.
Hope I helped!!!! :)
Answer:
a) 91 1/6 gallons
b) 2502 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
You are given a number of miles and a number of gallons for the car. The ratio of these numbers is ...
(261 mi)/(14.5 gal) = 18 mi/gal
We presume this value is constant for this car. Then the questions can be answered by forming and solving a proportion:
a) 1641 miles/(gallons) = 18 mi/(1 gal)
Multiplying by gallons and dividing by 18 mi/gal, we get
1641/18 gal = (gallons) = 91 1/6 gal
It will take 91 1/6 gallons of gasoline for Mary to drive to her friend's house.
___
b) Same deal, but the miles are unknown.
(miles)/(139 gal) = (18 mi)/(1 gal)
Multiplying by 139 gal gives ...
(18 mi)·139 = (miles) = 2502 mi
139 gallons of gasoline will let Mary drive 2502 miles.
