Question

bo and Luke are driving to uncle Jesse's house their car at the generally can go nearly 208 miles on 13 gallons of gas they only have 3 gallons of gas left in the tank but they are 42 miles away from uncle Jesse's house how far can the generally go on 3 gallons of gas in its tank

Answer 1

48 miles

Explanation:

What we must do is calculate the car's performance, that is, the number of miles per gallon of gas, like this:

208/13 = 16

which means that for each gallon of gas you can travel a total of 16 miles.

They tell us they have 3 gallons of gasoline left so they can go:

16 * 3 = 48

If your goal is 42 miles away, that means you can make it and you still have 6 more miles to go.
