Question

If your car gets 33 miles per gallon, how much does it cost to drive 350 miles when gasoline costs $3.50 per gallon?

Answer 1

about the $37.12

Explanation:

→Arrange what we are given and what we need to find out:

With 1 gallon we drive 33 miles for the price of $3.5.

We drive 350 miles for the price of $?

→Find how many groups of 33 miles are in 350 miles:

`(350)/(33)`

→Each one of those groups of 33 miles costs $3.5 so

find the cost of 350 miles

`((350)/(33) )3.5 = (350*3.5)/(33) = (1225)/(33) = 37.12`

Answer 2

$37.12

Total cost = $3.50(350/33) = $37.12
