Question

elliot drove 202.8 miles and used 6.5 gallons of gasoline.How many miles did he travel per gallon of gasoline?

Answer 1

I think the answer is 31.2 miles per gallon

Answer 2

First you need to do long division to divide 202.8 by 6.5. To help you with this you can just imagine that the decimals arent there. For instance:

202.8 = 2,028

6.5 = 65

So it will be easier for you to divide it then you add the decimals back in later.

If you solved it correctly you should have gotten 31.2.
