Question

I want to drive to Miami, which is 675 miles away. If my car gets 24 miles per gallon of gas costs $2.50 a gallon, how much would it cost to drive to Miami?

Answer 1

Answer:

$70.31

Explanation:

First we need to figure out how many gallons we would need and to do that we can divide the total miles by the miles per gallon the car gets

675÷24=28.125 gallons then to figure how much it'll cost we can multiply total gallons by the price per gallon

28.125×2.5=70.31 It would cost $70.31 to drive to Miami

I hope this helps and please don't hesitate to ask if there is anything still unclear!

Answer 2

Essentially you need to find the amount of gallons first to get to Miami, then you times it by the cost of 2.50$
