Answer:
85 miles.
Step-by-step explanation:
Lets begin by figuring out the number of miles in 4 inches. Since every 2 inches make 40 miles, we can figure out that there are 80 miles in 4 inches. To figure out that .125 part, we multiply 40 by .125, to get 5. We can add 80 plus 5 to get our grand total of 85 miles.
2.5(12.75x + 24.50) = 188.75
31.875x + 61.25 = 188.75
31.875x = 188.75 - 61.25
31.875x = 127.50
x = 127.50 / 31.875
x = 4....they worked 4 hrs
156/4=39 miles per gallon. 39*12 gallons is 468 miles, and 6 gallons is 234.
