Question

The grand prize for a raffle at a town carnival was 40 free gallons of gasoline per month for the next year. If the winner's car averages 24 miles per gallon, how many miles of "free" driving did he win?

Answer 1

Answer: 960 miles

Explanation:

The price was 40 free gallons of gasoline.

Each gallon would enable the winner to travel 24 miles.

The total amount of miles that the winner won is therefore:

= Number of free gasoline gallons * miles per gallon

= 40 * 24

= 960 miles
