Question

The Levine family has 10 gallons of gas in the car. The car uses 1 5/8 of a gallon each hour. How long can they drive on 10 gallons of gas?

Answer 1

The Levine family can drive for approximately 6.15 hours on 10 gallons of gas, based on their car's consumption rate of 1 5/8 gallons per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks how long the Levine family can drive on 10 gallons of gas, given that their car uses 1 5/8 gallons of gas per hour. First, to determine the number of hours they can drive, we divide the total gallons of gas they have by the consumption rate per hour.

Here is the step-by-step calculation:

Convert 1 5/8 gallons to an improper fraction: 1 5/8 = 13/8 gallons.

Divide the total gallons available, 10 gallons, by the consumption rate, 13/8 gallons per hour:

10 gallons ÷ (13/8 gallons/hour) = 80/13 hours

This gives us approximately 6.15 hours. Therefore, the Levine family can drive for about 6.15 hours on 10 gallons of gas.

Answer 2

6.15

Step-by-step explanation:

10 gallons is 80/8

1 5/8= 13/8

80 divided by 13 is 6.15384615385 but rounded 6.15

6.15 hours

if its not that then keep rounding to 6.2 or 6hrs
