Question

Ms.O’Malley’s cousin lives 1,650 miles away. Ms.O’Malley won a gift card for 100 gallons of gas. If her car can travel 35 miles on each gallon, can she drive round trip to see her cousin on the free gas?

Answer 1

Yes she can; out of the 35 gallons she can drive 3500 miles a round trip is 3300 miles. 3300 is less than 3500 so she will have enough gas.

Answer 2

Yes

Explanation:

If her car drives 35 miles per gallon and she needs to drive 3300 then:

100 gallons times 35 miles = 3500

1650 total miles times 2 = 3300 round trip

She will have 200 miles left
