Question

Matt wants to purchase a gasoline motor scooter. The gas mileage 75 miles for each 1/2 gallon of gasoline. How many miles will Matt be able to drive on 5 gallons of gasoline

Answer 1

Answer: 750 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The gas mileage is 75 miles per 1/2 gallon of gasoline.

First find how many miles it can go on 1 gallon of gasoline:

= 75 ÷ 1/2

= 150 miles

If the scooter can go 150 miles on 1 gallon, the number of miles it will go on 5 gallons is:

= 5 * 150

= 750 miles
