Question

Terrell wants to Drive his car at a speed of 50 miles per hour for 2.75 hours. His car has a fuel efficiency of 25 miles per gallon. How many gallons of fuel does Terrell need for his journey?

Answer 1

HI there! To find the number of gallons he needs for travel, the first step we need to do is find the number of miles he'll travel, by multiplying speed by time. 50 * 2.75 is 137.5. Terrell will travel 137.5 miles in 2.75 hours. There are 25 miles in a gallon. Now, let's divide the number by 25 to get the number of gallons. 137.5 / 25 = 5.5. There. Terrell will need 5.5 gallons of gas for his journey.

Answer 2

He needs 5 and a half gallons of gas
