Question

Last week Kiwi filled his 16-gallon tank with gas. On the average, his car burns 0.03 gallon of gas per mile. If Kiwi has 4 gallons left in his tank, how many miles has he driven?

Answer 1

He has driven 400 miles.

Explanation:

Total amount of gas = 16 gallons

Amount of gas left= 4 gallons

Amount of gas used = 16-4 = 12 gallons

No. of miles traveled in 0.03 gallons of gas = 1

No. of miles traveled in 1 gallon of gas =
`(1)/(0.03)`

No. of miles traveled in 12 gallon of gas =
`(1)/(0.03) * 12`

=
`400`

Hence he has driven 400 miles.

Answer 2

Answer: 400 Miles

Explanation:

Okay to find the answer you must use how many gallons he has already used which is 12 Gallons.

They say the average is 0.03 Gallons per Mile.

You divide 12/0.03 to get 400 Miles. (:
