Question

If for every ten miles he travels his vehicle uses 1 gallon and gas costs $10.50, what will be the cost of fuel?

a) $10.50
b) $21.00
c) $31.50
d) $42.00

Answer 1

Option A).To calculate the fuel cost, divide the distance traveled by 10 to find the number of gallons used. Then, multiply the number of gallons by the cost of one gallon of gas.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of gallons of gas required for the distance traveled must be determined, and then multiplied by the price of one gallon of gas, to determine the fuel cost.

We can calculate the number of gallons used by dividing the distance traveled by 10, as the car uses one gallon of gas for every ten miles.

For instance, the student would need ten gallons of gas to travel 100 miles.

Then, we can multiply the number of gallons used by the cost of one gallon of gas, which is $10.50.

Therefore, the fuel cost will be $10.50.

Hence, Option A) is the correct answer.
