Question

Megan’s car averaged 336 miles on 12 gallons of gas. How many gallons of gas did Megan use to drive 1,344 miles on vacation? a. 40 gallons c. 112 gallons b. 28 gallons d. 48 gallons

Answer 1

Okay, so first divide 336 / 12 to find out how many miles are driven on each gallon. 336 / 12 = 28   So the car travels 28 miles per gallon (mpg).

Then, divide 1,344 / 28      1,344 / 28 = 48    

And there's your answer! D) 48 gallons
