Answer 1

Complete question :

Harry fills up his Jeep with gasoline and notes that the odometer reading is 23,568.7 miles. The next time he fills up his Jeep, he pays for 12.6 gallons of gasoline. He notes his odometer reading is 23,706.3 miles. How many miles per gallon did he get?

Answer:

10.9 miles per gallon

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Odometer reading when filled up with gasoline = 23,568.7 miles

Odometer reading with 12.6 gallons of gasoline = 23,706.3 miles

Miles per gallon gotten :

(Current Odometer reading - reading when filled up) / gallon of gasoline

(23706.3 - 23568.7) / 12.6

= 10.920634

= 10.9 miles per gallon
