Question

A car has 15 gallons of gas in its tank. The car travels 35 miles per gallon of gas. How far can the car travel on 15 gallons of gas? (Only type the number as your answer, no words. If there is a decimal, make sure you include it in your answer.

Answer 1

You have the total amount of gas–15 gallons. You have the information in the problem to find the amount of gas consumed. The car can go 32 miles before consuming a full gallon of gas and it traveled 384 miles. So if you divide the 384 miles by 32 miles per gallon, you are left with the gallons consumed

Answer 2

525 miles

Explanation:

35 x 15 = 525

Because the car has 15 gallons of gas, and for each gallon of gas it goes 35 miles. All you have to do is multiply.
