Question

If one centimeter on the map above equals 30 miles, our vehicle gets 15 miles per gallon of gasoline, and gasoline costs $ 4.09 per gallon, how much will it cost to drive to the ski lodge

Answer 1

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\ 98.16}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume that your map looks like the one below.

1. Calculate the distance

It looks like the distance on the map is 12 cm.

$\text{Distance} = \text{12 cm} \times \dfrac{\text{30 mi}}{\text{1 cm}} = \text{ 360 mi}$

2. Calculate the volume of gasoline

$\text{Volume} = \text{ 360 mi} \times \dfrac{\text{1 gal}}{\text{15 mi}} = \text{24 gal}$

3. Calculate the cost of the gasoline

$\text{Cost} = \text{24 gal} \times \dfrac{\ 4.09}{\text{1 gal}} = \mathbf{\ 98.16}\\\\\text{It will cost \large \boxed{\mathbf{\ 98.16}} to drive to the ski lodge.}$
