Question

A car averages 32 miles per gallon of gasoline. How far can this car travel on one fluid ounce of gasoline

Answer 1

Given that a car averages 32 miles per gallon of gasoline.

That means in 1 gallon of gasoline, car will travel 32 miles.

Now we have to find the distance travelled by car in one fluid ounce of gasoline.

We know that 1 US liquid gallon = 128 US fluid ounce

So that means car travels 32 miles in 128 fluid ounce of gasoline

So to find the distance travelled by car in one fluid ounce of gasoline, we just need to divide 32 miles by 128

Hence answer will be 32/128 or 0.25 miles.
