Question

you car gets about 30 miles per gallon. you are planning to drive to see your friends who live about 930 miles away. How many gallons of gas will you need to purchase to make the trip to see your friends and to return home?

Answer 1

Hello there! So, you would have to drive 930 miles to see your friends, but you need to drive another 930 miles to return home, because you need enough gas to see your friends and then drive back. 930 + 930 is 1,860. To find of the amount of gallons needed to make the trip, all you have to do is divide the total number of miles by 30, because there are 30 miles per gallon. 1,860/30 is 62. There. You will need 62 gallons total for the trip.

Answer 2

First, double the distance because you need to cover that distance twice so 1860 miles. Then divide 1860 by 30 to get 62 gallons
