Question

if your car gets 28 miles per gallon, how much does it cost to drive 310 miles when gasoline cost $3.50 per gallon?

Answer 1

Hi,


Work:


`28miles = 1gallon`

To find the cost of gallons spend for 310 miles you need to first find the amount of gallons consumed on 310 miles path.


`310 / 28 = 11.07gallons`

If each costs 3.5$ you need to multiply gallons with money.


`3.5 * 11.07 = 38.745`

You would spend 38.745$ to drive 310 miles.

Hope this helps.
