Question

If your truck gets 22 high way miles per gallon and your traveling 250 miles. Gas is $2.40 a gallon how much are you spending on gas

Answer 1

Start by setting up your equation

 

(per means divide)

22 miles per gallon = 22 miles/gallon

 

 

22 miles / 1 gallon = 250 miles / x gallons

 

(Cross multiply)

22x = 250

 

(divide each side by 22)

x = 11.36 gallons of gas to travel 250 miles

 

11.36 (gallons) * 2.40 (dollars/gallon) = $27.27
