Question

if a car travels 370.3 miles on 52 liters of gas, how many liters of.gas.will take to go 722 miles.if the car travels at the same rate ? round to the nearest tenth

Answer 1

Answer:

101.4 liters.  

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all we will find mileage of car.  

$\text{Mileage of car}=\frac{\text{Total distance traveled}}{\text{Total amount of fuel}}$

$\text{Mileage of car}=\frac{370.3\text{ miles}}{52\text{ liters gas}}$

$\text{Mileage of car}=7.12115\frac{\text{ miles}}{\text{ liters gas}}$

We can see that car travels at the rate of 7.12 miles per liter gas. Now let us find amount of gas needed to travel 722 miles at the same rate.

$\text{Amount of gas needed}=\frac{722}{7.12}$

$\text{Amount of gas needed}=101.388$

Therefore, it will take 101.4 liters of gas to travel 722 miles.
